Researchers from the INF project have developed a model that aims to predict the optimal prompts. This should improve the generated output of language models. Maximilian Spliethöver presented the TRR 318 study at the NAACL 2025 conference in New Mexico, USA.
Hubert Baniecki is a PhD student at the University of Warsaw and was a visiting researcher in project C03 of TRR 318 at the LMU Munich in March. In the interview, he shares what he researched with the TRR members, what made the collaboration special for him, and the impressions he took away.
Have we already found a solution with ChatGPT and DeepSeek for an explainable AI that meets our requirements for an AI that can explain itself? Moderator Prof. Dr.-Ing. Britta Wrede discusses this question with her guests Prof. Dr. Henning Wachsmuth and Prof. Dr. Axel Ngonga Ngomo in the fourth episode of the podcast “Explaining Explainability”.

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 (extended deadline) 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.
