On Thursday, a team of TRR 318 visited the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 248 “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems”. The aim of the meeting was to identify interfaces between the two research networks and to intensify the scientific exchange.
The TRR 318 “Constructing Explainability” is now represented on Instagram. The new account sfb_trr318 offers regular updates and insights into interdisciplinary research on the topic of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI).
In a new video, Nils Klowait explains how artificial intelligence (AI) can be democratically shaped through co-construction, offering insights into current research by the TRR 318.
Interview with three TRR members: Project manager Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla, spokesperson Prof. Dr. Katharina Rohlfing and managing director Ronja Hannebohm (from left).
Three women from TRR 318 discuss gender equality and equal opportunities in science. Professor Katharina Rohlfing shares her experiences in a leadership position. Professor Hanna Drimalla encourages future female scientists to pursue their careers actively. And Ronja Hannebohm explains the project's internal measures to promote gender equality comprehensively.
Josephine B. Fisher, TRR speaker Professor Katharina Rohlfing, and Dr. Angela Grimminger, together with Dr. Ed Donellan, Dr. Yan Gu, and Professor Gabriella Vigliocco from University College London (UCL), have published the research article "Explain with, rather than explain to: How explainees shape their own learning".
The third episode of the “Explaining Explainability” podcast is entitled “Understanding” and has now been published. In this episode, Professor Britta Wrede, Professor Hendrik Buschmeier and Professor Heike Buhl focus on the process of understanding.
On 17 and 18 June, the TRR 318 is organizing the 3rd conference “Contextualizing Explanations”. Researchers from all disciplines have until 16 April to submit their abstracts.
Members of TRR 318 bid farewell to the festive season - find reading material in the form of a children's book, a year in review, and a Christmas story tailored to the Transregio...
Affective computing deals with the computer-aided recognition of human emotions. In TRR 318, the team from project A06, "Co-Constructing social signs of understanding to adapt monitoring to diversity," is researching in this area. Dr. David Johnson, Jonas Paletschek, and Prof Dr. Hanna Drimalla, in collaboration with Olya Hakobyan, have now published a paper about the relevance of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for affective computing.
A team of Transregio researchers from the University of Bielefeld University and LMU Munich has developed a new open source tool: shapiq. The software extends existing methods of explainable AI by analyzing not only the influence of individual features, but also their joint interactions. Maximilian Muschalik and Fabian Fumagalli will present their results at the NeurIPS 2024 conference.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hendrik Buschmeier, project leader A02, and Meisam Booshehri, doctoral researcher INF, are presenting a model of successful dialogical explanations.
People use speech, facial expressions, and gestures to show whether they have understood an explanation. This multimodal communication should also be used in explanatory dialogs with AI systems. Researchers from TRR 318 presented their approaches and results in this area at the ICMI 2024, the 26th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction. Four members of the Transregio traveled to San José, Costa Rica, from November 4 to 8.
The TRR 318 was strongly represented at this year's International Symposium for Multimodal Communication (MMSYM 2024) in Frankfurt. Professor Petra Wagner, project leader of A02, gave a keynote speech in which she presented the research of TRR 318 and the A02 project (Petra Wagner als Keynote-Speakerin bei MMSYM 2024). In addition, Professor Hendrik Buschmeier (A02), Stefan Lazarov (A02) and Vivien Lohmer (A04) showed their work in poster…
Professor Dr. Katharina Rohlfing was a guest on the podcast “Autonomie & Algorithmen” (Autonomy & Algorithms). In this episode the TRR 318 speaker provides insights into the Transregio's research and describes the interactive view of ‘explaining’ that the scientists in the Collaborative Research Centre are primarily working on.
