Measuring Understanding

Welcome to this year’s 2nd TRR 318 Conference on “Measuring Understanding”.

Current XAI research is centring around solutions of how to achieve understanding. The topics include different methods and tools to assess and measure understanding in the context of (a) dyadic everyday explanations (b) the context of interpretability or explainability of AI systems, or (c) of institutional environments. Specifically, the focus of the conference is on the methodological challenge of how to measure and operationalise understanding in diverse explanatory settings including human-human interaction and human-machine interaction. Additionally, what are the implications of these measurements for XAI. Researchers from all around Europe are coming together to discuss recent challenges and topics how to measure understanding.
