Fairness and Missing Data in Machine Learning: Challenges and Solutions
Creators: name: Vaina, Francesco
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: As automated decision-making systems become increasingly prevalent in critical
domains like education, ensuring fairness in these systems is paramount. Missing data
presents a unique challenge to fairness in machine learning (ML), particularly in high-
stakes applications such as predicting student outcomes. This research investigates the
effects of missing data and various preprocessing methods on the fairness and
accuracy of ML models within educational datasets. Using data from the 2012
Education Longitudinal Study, the study aims to predict bachelor’s degree attainment
through models such as Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector
Classifier. By examining multiple imputation techniques, especially in contexts where
data is not Missing Completely at Random (MCAR), this research evaluates the
influence of these methods on model fairness and performance, with a focus on
mitigating bias against vulnerable student groups.
The study underscores the importance of feature handling in data preprocessing,
highlighting how improper treatment during imputation can introduce or exacerbate
biases that affect model predictions. Through an analysis of feature importance and its
impact on fairness, this work identifies the features most likely to contribute to bias,
supporting the design of more equitable predictive models. Findings reveal trade-offs
between accuracy and fairness, illustrating the critical role of appropriate fairness
metrics—such as Equalized Odds—in accounting for contextual nuances over simpler
metrics like Statistical Parity. This research contributes to the field by addressing gaps
in existing literature, providing insights into the relationship between missing data
handling, fairness, and accuracy in educational ML applications, and offering practical
recommendations for developing fairer, more reliable models in educational contexts.

Creators: name: Peters, Virginia
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Autobiography, True Crime, Life writing, Vulnerable Subjects, Hostile Subjects, Consent

description: Have You Seen Simone? consists of a creative nonfiction book, Have You Seen Simone?, and a critical commentary on the process and context of writing it.
The book investigates the suspicious death of German traveller Simone Strobel, who went missing in February 2005, in Lismore, Australia. After an inquest into her death in 2007, the police stated they believed that Simone’s boyfriend, Tobias Suckfuell was involved in her death, although he has never been charged with any offence concerning her death. I was captivated by the case, and with the agreement of the police I committed myself to uncovering the truth. The book is the story of my investigation; it analyses the evidence, explores new lines of investigation, and recounts my interviews with the couple’s friends and families; included also is an interview with Tobias Suckfuell himself, who remains the prime suspect. Having become intimately involved in the case, the narrative becomes something of an investigation of the self, heightened by the loss of my mother who dies during the writing process.

It should be noted that some of the participants in Have You Seen Simone?, the suspects, have exercised a legitimate right to silence, and although it would be legally inappropriate to draw conclusions about this silence, I question the ethics of this decision, as the nature of their silence suggests they have something to conceal. Silence is at the core of this investigation: what does it mean to write about a legally irresolvable case where the who, what, why, where of the original series of events remains opaque? Navigating through contentious material and negotiating legal, moral, and empirical judgments in a case that has no preceding narrative or conclusion established by the courts is inherently problematic. What does this mean ethically, cognitively and poetologically for the narrative? Is it fundamentally doomed to fail? Or can a persuasively constructed speculative view illuminate a situation that remains largely opaque?

Bearing these questions in mind, what follows in the critical commentary, after an exploration of the history of the genre—that is the context in which I position myself (from its precursors to its more recent developments)—is a discussion on why my particular work was suited to a reflective, personal account; this is in view of my
background as a newspaper reader as opposed to a journalist who is trained in objective, third-person reporting. I go on to discuss and compare the similar works of Australian author Helen Garner who wrote Joe Cinque’s Consolation and The First Stone—in this chapter and the following—as I further elaborate on my particular methodology in relation to writing methods, and investigative methods involving elicitation and evaluation. I will end with a discussion on the ethics of writing, specifically on the subject of the participants’ right to withdraw data from a research project.
ENABLING REUSABILITY OF A SPACECRAFT DESIGN TOOLSET VIA MBSE

Engineering design

description: As technology advances, so does the complexity of engineering projects. Systems en- gineering has evolved with these technological advances as a means of coping with this complexity. Traditionally, systems engineers use separate documents to track all project in- formation. This trend continues today, as projects are becoming more complex than before and the traditional document based approach is now seen as time consuming and error prone. Model based Systems engineering (MBSE) is a systems engineering approach that seeks to incorporate all project information into a single source of truth that can be thought of as a model. However, there are several challenges that face widespread MBSE adoption, includ- ing data transfer incompatibilities between MBSE and engineering discipline models. These incompatibilities are a major focus of this thesis. One goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the addition of a translation framework between MBSE and the Modeling Architectures and Parameterization for Spacecraft (MAPS) environment. The translation framework takes information read from System Modeling Language (SysML) diagrams and converts it into a representation suitable for the MAPS environment. Adding a translation framework en- ables more rapid analysis of different architectures and allows more users to interact with the MAPS environment. This thesis also seeks a method by which to evaluate MBSE and systems engineering tools. A qualitative framework is created based on rigor in systems en- gineering. The rigor evaluation framework specifically targets weaknesses commonly found in MBSE to enable users to find better directions for these tools. The effectiveness of the translation framework is shown via a demonstration case. Additionally, the rigor evalua- tion framework is applied to the translation framework. This application results in several recommendations for improvements and demonstrates the evaluation framework’s ability to find and address problem areas in MBSE tools.

Creators: name: Rustiadi, Sonny
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Creative Industries, Policy Model, Creative City

description: Bandung is the capital of the West Java province in Indonesia; the country's third largest city and second largest metropolitan area. I live and work in Bandung and see a great potential for the creative industries. The creative industries is already developing, but organically and can only manage to grow to a certain level. Further progress enabled by developing a better strategy needs to be put forward. The strategy also aimed to influence regional and national approach in developing the creative industries.

This thesis is organized around three primary objectives which are (1) The history and current condition of the creative industries; (2) Issues in optimizing the development of the creative industries; and (3) Possible framework for development strategies. The research is informed by an analysis of empirical and conceptual studies from a whole set of subjects including the concept of creativity, creative industries, creative economies, the concept of creative cities and the relations of cultural industries to cultural policy.  

The research is based on a study of key players using surveys, case studies and in-depth interviews to obtain information and capture the knowledge, understanding, and experiences from the respondents regarding the creative industries in the city. The method is mainly influenced by subjective theories approach from Norbert Groeben (1990) to study and investigate everyday knowledge. 

The thesis concludes by revisiting the empirical findings from an analytical standpoint grounded on the reasoning and on the evidence presented. Concluding observation indicates that there are four key areas of strategies which are (1) Trust building; (2) Governance and engagement; (3) Physical evidence; and (4) The soft infrastructure. It is believed that not a single policy measure will be able to fully optimise the development of creative industries. Rather, a creative industries development strategy contains a collection of different elements.

description: The aim of this thesis is to provide a new way of reading Henry Miller by drawing attention to his unlikely aesthetic and moral intersections with Ezra Pound. It traces the lineage of a particular strand of radical modernist expression that is exemplified in Pound’s critical essays between 1909 and 1938 and finds its way – incongruously - into Henry Miller’s semi-autobiographical novels of the 1930s. In the process, I will illuminate hitherto underexplored territory that is shared by two seemingly incompatible writers, pointing the way to a better understanding of the aesthetic and moral contradictions in Miller’s – and indeed Pound’s – work.  
 
Crucially, I propose that Miller’s literature is morally engaged rather than amoral or unwittingly counter-revolutionary, two common and reductive assumptions. By reading him in the context of Pound’s often suspect pronouncements on hierarchy and order it is possible to reassess George Orwell’s widely accepted conclusion that Miller is simply a ‘passive, unflinching’ recorder of life.*  It is also possible to treat his textual violence as an important part of his aesthetic, rather than condemning or glossing over it. This thesis will define a set of aesthetics that are common to Pound and Miller and involve complex, often paradoxical impulses – most crucially between the desire to cultivate a radically inclusive artistic approach and the instinctive adherence to a set of absolute tastes and values.

Taking as my starting point a little known review by Pound of Miller’s Tropic of Cancer, I demonstrate that the latter’s often brutal, anti-humanist rhetoric enables rather than undermines his larger humanistic project. I show that Miller’s idiosyncratic assimilation of high modernist reactionary tropes and ideas were integral to his original and influential view of art, ethics and reality. Concomitantly, this comparison of two very different writers seeks to generate a new perspective on the slippage between retrograde and progressive elements in both their works as well as the period in which they were writing.

description: Fourier transform fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FT-FRAP) with patternedillumination is demonstrated for quantitatively evaluating normal and anomalous diffusion. Diffusion characterization is routinely performed to assess mobility in cell biology, pharmacology, and food science. Conventional FRAP is noninvasive, has low sample volume requirements, and can rapidly measure diffusion over distances of a few micrometers. However, conventional point-bleach measurements are complicated by signal-to-noise limitations, the need for precise knowledge of the photobleach beam profile, potential for bias due to sampleheterogeneity, and poor compatibility with multi-photon excitation due to local heating. In FT-FRAP with patterned illumination, the time-dependent fluorescence recovery signal is concentrated to puncta in the spatial Fourier domain through patterned photobleaching, with substantial improvements in signal-to-noise, mathematical simplicity, representative sampling, and multiphoton compatibility. A custom nonlinear-optical beam-scanning microscopeenabled patterned illumination for photobleaching through two-photon excitation. Measurements in the spatial Fourier domain removed dependence on the photobleach profile,suppressing bias from imprecise knowledge of the point spread function and enabled flow analysis through the spatial phase shift. Simultaneous measurement of diffusion at multiple length scales was enabled through analysis of multiple spatial harmonics of the photobleachingpattern. Anomalous diffusion was characterized by FT-FRAP through a nonlinear fit to multiple spatial harmonics of the fluorescence recovery. Furthermore, FT-FRAP with patterned illumination enabled simultaneous diffusion measurements at every position throughout the field of view for normal and anomalous diffusion. Inverse Fourier transformation of peaks shifted to the origin in the spatial frequency domain produced fluorescence recovery maps in real space based on the spatial-frequency peak shape.Diffusion contrast across the field of view was determined through image segmentation and fitting the integrated fluorescence recoveries to a diffusion model.

description: The liturgy of the Babylonian creation myth, performed each year by the King and the priests, tells us about the intellectual frame of their world, as it was then understood. The physical world is a place of refuge, created by the gods to ensure the well-being of human life. The King is the earthly embodiment of the King of the gods, Marduk, whose character is described in detail. Each of his qualities enables him to maintain the good order of the world. There are however elements in the liturgy which suggest that the Babylonian perception of reality had a transcendentalist aspect.

ROLE OF ACROLEIN IN NEUROTRAUMA AND RELATED NEURODEGENERATION
Creators: name: Herr, Seth A
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Neurosciences not elsewhere classified

description: Neurotrauma is a general term describing injury to the central nervous system (CNS); which comprises of the brain and spinal cord. The damage resulting from neurotrauma includes primary injury, which occurs from different sources such as compressed air hitting the brain (bTBI) or an object/bone contusing the spinal cord, resulting in a spinal cord injury (SCI). These various means of primary brain and spinal cord injury are further complicated by the many possible combinations of severity levels and frequencies. However, primary injuries are regarded in many cases as unavoidable with the immediate nerve damage being largely irreversible. Despite all this, primary injuries of the CNS are related by common biochemical pathways in secondary injury. Secondary injury is the cause of declining outcomes after neurotrauma and poor recovery. Secondary injury begins immediately after primary injury and can continue to trigger death of neurons for years later. Given this contribution to poor recovery and its slow progression, secondary injury provides an excellent window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. A major factor and key link in secondary injury and its perpetuation is reactive aldehyde formation, such as acrolein, from lipid peroxidation. The common formation of acrolein in neurotrauma is attributed to the unique structure of the CNS: with neurons containing a high lipid content from myelin and heavy metabolic activity they are vulnerable to acrolein formation. Thus, acrolein in secondary injury is a point of pathogenic convergence between the various forms of neurotrauma, and may play a role as well in the development of neurotrauma linked disorders and related neurodegeneration. The overall goal of this thesis is to therefore develop better strategies for acrolein removal. We explore here endogenous clearance strategies and targeted drug delivery in SCI, investigate detailed cellular structure changes in bTBI, and acrolein formation and removal in Parkinson’s disease. These findings of pathology, and effectiveness of new or existing acrolein removal strategies, will allow us to better employ treatments in future studies.

description: Quantum adiabatic optimization seeks to solve combinatorial problems using quantum dynamics, requiring the Hamiltonian of the system to align with the problem of interest. However, these Hamiltonians are often incompatible with the native constraints of quantum hardware, necessitating encoding strategies to map the original problem into a hardware-conformant form. While the classical overhead associated with such mappings is easily quantifiable and typically polynomial in problem size, it is much harder to quantify their overhead on the quantum algorithm, e.g., the transformation of the adiabatic timescale. In this work, we address this challenge on the concrete example of the encoding scheme proposed in [Nguyen et al., PRX Quantum 4, 010316 (2023)], which is designed to map optimization problems on arbitrarily connected graphs into Rydberg atom arrays. We consider the fundamental building blocks underlying this encoding scheme and determine the scaling of the minimum gap with system size along adiabatic protocols. Even when the original problem is trivially solvable, we find that the encoded problem can exhibit an exponentially closing minimum gap. We show that this originates from a quantum coherent effect, which gives rise to an unfavorable localization of the ground-state wavefunction. On the QuEra Aquila neutral atom machine, we observe such localization and its effect on the success probability of finding the correct solution to the encoded optimization problem. Finally, we propose quantum-aware modifications of the encoding scheme that avoid this quantum bottleneck and lead to an exponential improvement in the adiabatic performance. This highlights the crucial importance of accounting for quantum effects when designing strategies to encode classical problems onto quantum platforms.

Communication and Computation in Large-Scale Distributed Optimization

description: Last decades have witnessed a surge of interest in developing distributed algorithms for solving large-scale optimization problems with multi-agent systems. The development of a standard distributed optimization algorithm can be typically summarized as two fundamental stages – communication and computation. Whereas the communication stage enables agents to collect the desired information from the entire network, the computation stage updates each agent’s local state towards the optimizer of the objective function. This dissertation focuses on the two key aspects of distributed optimization, develops a suite of new provable distributed algorithms for solving both deterministic and stochastic optimization problems, and further explores the opportunities of applying the distributed optimization techniques into real-world applications especially with multi-UAV systems. First, starting from the perspective of communication, a DGDx algorithm is proposed by incorporating multiple communication iterations into the consensus step. Second, observing that the standard DGD algorithm is a special case where the linear approximation is applied for the local objective functions, we develop a NetProx algorithm which generalizes the choice of approx- imation function for each agent and thus provides flexibility in the aspect of computation. The two proposed algorithms both offer great potential to balance the communication and computation in distributed optimization. In addition, we consider the issue of network communication attacks and devise a resilient algorithm for solving the specific distributed min-max problem. Two-stage stochastic programs are also studied and a DistPH algorithm is developed by adapting the classical PH method under a peer-to-peer multi-agent network. At last, two real-wold applications – distributed data fusion and distributed source tracking, both involved with the multi-UAV system, are investigated to demonstrate the superiority of the distributed optimization techniques. Theoretical analysis and numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of all proposed algorithms.

This thesis presents a high-speed mid-IR LAS diagnostic for CO and demonstrates its capabilities by taking measurements inside the annulus of a rotation detonation rocket engine. This scanned direct absorption diagnostic utilizes a quantum cascade laser to interrogate CO absorption lines near 2008.5 cm-1 to measure temperature, pressure, and CO at 750 kHz. This diagnostic reports precise measurements (95% CI of < 10%) even at elevated temperatures (2500 K) and pressures (6 atm). The presented diagnostic is the first of its kind to permit mid-infrared measurement of CO inside an RDRE annulus at repetition rates > 100 kHz.

description: The field of 3D computer vision has advanced rapidly in recent years, with a central challenge being human-centric understanding, encompassing tasks such as 3D human pose estimation (HPE), 3D head pose estimation, and multi-view pedestrian detection (MPD). While state-of-the-art methods leveraging deep neural networks have shown promising results, many still struggle to accurately infer 3D structures or positional information from images. This research aims to model and learn the geometric structure and feature representations of the articulated human body, thereby enhancing the perception capabilities of modern human-centric vision systems.

We initially propose a graph-based approach to better represent and understand geometric structures, validating our methods for 3D HPE. We introduce mechanisms that capture high-order proximity, compositionality, and variability of the articulated body. Our experimental results demonstrate that these methods significantly mitigate depth ambiguity in 3D HPE, achieving state-of-the-art performance on public datasets, including Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP.

Next, we explore the benefits of geometric modeling and learning in 3D head pose estimation through a novel unsupervised framework that learns both head pose and facial landmarks. This framework features a multi-task network for joint landmark and pose prediction, learnable 3D canonical landmarks, and an image generation network, all trained collaboratively on unlabeled face images using a combined loss of conditional image generation and geometric consistency. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of our approach, utilizing public datasets such as CelebA, AFLW, and BIWI.

Finally, we highlight the importance of geometric modeling and learning in multi-view pedestrian detection (MPD). Existing systems struggle with inconsistent feature representations, especially in dense crowds, due to scale variations across camera views. We propose a novel adaptive detection transformer (AdaDETR), which consists of three key components: a Multi-space Pyramid Encoder, Content-dependent BEV Queries, and a Pedestrian Occupancy Decoder. These components handle scale variations, improve feature fusion across views, and predict pedestrian occupancy in BEV space. Extensive experiments on publicly available datasets, such as Wildtrack and MultiviewX, validate the effectiveness of our approach.

description: Fragments of α-synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein, whose misfolding and aggregation are responsible for diseases like Parkinson’s disease and others, can co-exist in different polymorphs like ‘rod’ and ‘twister’. Their apparently stable structures have different degrees of tolerance to perturbations like point mutations. The molecular basis of this is investigated using molecular dynamics-based conformational sampling. A charge-swapping mutation, E46K, known to be a reason for the early onset of Parkinson’s disease, has differential impact on two polymorphs, and its molecular reason has been probed by investigating the intra-fibril interaction network that is responsible for stabilizing the aggregates. Two different quaternary level arrangement of the peptides in two polymorphs, establishing two different types of interrelations between residues of the peptide monomers, form the basis of their differential stabilities; a Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based analysis has extracted different pairs of residues and their spatial proximities as features to distinguish the states of two polymorphs. It has revealed that difference in these molecular arrangements intrinsically assigns key roles to different sets of residues in two different forms, like a feedback loop from quaternary structure to sequence level; an important insight into the sequence-structure relationship in general. Such atomic level insights were substantiated with the proof of differences in the dynamic correlation between residue pairs, altered mobilities of the sidechains that affects packing and redistribution of the weightage of different principal modes of internal motions in different systems. The identification of key residues with altered significance in different polymorphs is likely to benefit the planned design of fibril breaking molecules.

Il dragomanno Benjamin Brüe e le relazioni franco-ottomane (1714-1716)

description: Benjamin Brüe was a dragoman who accompanied the Ottoman army to Morea and Hungary. Yet he was far from being just a translator, in fact, Brüe was one of the most important actors in the French-Ottoman relations. He managed and at times guided, together with the diplomatic corps, the co-operation with the Oriental Empire. In his correspondence he appears to be the interpreter of the defensive strategies adopted by the French Kingdom against the Habsburg threat in the Levant. However, the Grand Vizier suspected him to be an enemy spy and gave order for him to be killed. The dragoman can thus be seen as a broker who, through the transmission of political and cultural information, puts different worlds in contact.

Non-Fully Symmetric Space-Time Matern-Cauchy Correlation Functions

Subjects: Statistics not elsewhere classified

description: In spatio-temporal data analysis, the problem of non-separable space-time covariance functions is important and hard to deal with. Most of the famous constructions of these covariance functions are fully symmetric, which is inappropriate in many spatiotemporal processes. The Non-Fully Symmetric Space-Time (NFSST) Matern model by Zhang, T. and Zhang, H. (2015) provides a way to construct a non-fully symmetric non-separable space-time correlation function from marginal spatial and temporal Matern correlation functions.In this work we use the relationship between the spatial Matern and temporal Cauchy correlation functions and their spectral densities, and provide a modification to their Bochner’s representation by including a space-time interaction term. Thus we can construct a non-fully symmetric space-time Matern-Cauchy model, from any given marginal spatial Matern and marginal temporal Cauchy correlation functions. We are able to perform computation and parameter estimate on this family, using the Taylor expansion of the correlation functions. This model has attractive properties: it has much faster estimation compared with NFSST Matern model when the spatio-temporal data is large; it enables the existence of temporal long-range dependence (LRD), adding substantially to the flexibility of marginal correlation function in the time domain. Several spatio-temporal meteorological data sets are studied using our model, including one case with temporal LRD.
L’ombra di Spinoza nei Balcani del Settecento. Il caso della Vera Felicità di Athanasios Psalidas
Creators: name: Stamboulis, Giorgio

Year: 2018
Subjects: Spinoza; Psalidas; Happiness; Empiricism; Revelation

description: This article deals with the spread of Spinoza’s thought in the Eighteenth century Balkans with special regards to Psalidas’ True Happiness. Psalidas’ book presents the first translation of some key parts of Spinoza's Ethics in the context of a theist approach. The analysis presents the hermeneutic comprehension of this document bearing in mind Israel’s interpretation of the Enlightenment and the debate of Greek scholars about Psalidas. The final aim is to furnish a first view on the reception of the Ethics in the Balkans and on how this reception influenced the structure of a seminal work such as True Happiness.
