Homepage of Wijnand van Woerkom


I am a second year PhD candidate at Utrecht University, supervised by Henry Prakken, Davide Grossi, and Bart Verheij. My work is concerned with explaining outcomes of data-driven machine-learning applications to their end users, particularly in contexts where the decisions have ethical, legal, or societal implications. This project is part of the Hybrid Intelligence Centre, which is focused on the combination of machine and human intelligence.

My research interests include interpretable machine learning, responsible artificial intelligence, and case-based reasoning. Some other areas that I have worked in are mathematical logic, category theory, type theory, and term rewriting.

Talks


On the 2nd of May 2022 I gave a talk at an informal workshop on algebraic weak factorisation systems as part of the Dutch Categories And Types Seminar, titled The Frobenius property for algebraic weak factorisation systems. Click the thumbnail below to see a recording of the talk.
