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.
This year's series of Public Talks of the Transregio “Constructing Explainability” (TRR 318) focused on the use and effects of chat GPT technologies. The lecture by Professor Dr. Hendrik Buschmeier on “Trust and mistrust in dealing with AI chatbots” has now been published as part of the Bielefeld Lectures series and is available online.
On 13 September, Dr Christian Schulz will take part in an interdisciplinary workshop at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (USA). The workshop, entitled ‘Sociotechnical Consequences of AI: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Ethical, Organizational, Social, and Computational Dimensions’, will bring together international experts to discuss the multi-layered effects of artificial intelligence (AI).
TRR-Projektleaders, Professor Dr Heike M. Buhl and Professor Dr Ingrid Scharlau, organized a symposium at the 33rd International Congress of Psychology (ICP 2024) in Prague, bringing together experts to discuss the co-constructive nature of explaining. The event highlighted how metaphors and partner dynamics influence the effectiveness of explanations, with insights from didactics and educational psychology.
At the second International Symposium on Multimodal Communication (MMSYM 2024) in Frankfurt, Bielefeld Professor Dr Petra Wagner, project leader of A02, will give a keynote speech. The lecture on “The multimodal expression of (non-)understanding in dyadic explanations - some lessons learned” will focus on the research of the A02 project.
The cover has a blue background and a white writing in the center, containing the title.

In his current publication entitled ‘Algorithms: Technology Culture Politics’, Professor Dr Tobias Matzner, project leader of B03 und B06, takes up more than two decades of critical research on algorithms and builds on it.
CogSci 2024, the largest conference for cognitive science worldwide, will take place in Rotterdam from 24 to 27 July 2024. TRR scientists will also be represented by two contributions this year. Stefan Lazarov (A02) and Josephine B. Fisher (A01) will present their research on site in the Netherlands.
Helen Beierling from project B05 has been honored with the Best Student Paper Award at the workshop "Mechanisms for Mapping Human Input to Robots – From Robot Learning to Shared Control/Autonomy" held during the Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) Conference in Delft.
In TRR 318, scientists are working on the research and development of AI applications that can improve the quality and safety of medical care. Anna-Lisa Vollmer, Professor of Interactive Robotics in Medicine and Nursing at Bielefeld University and project manager of sub-project B05, spoke about this in a presentation and subsequent panel discussion at an event organised by the East Westphalia Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
TRR-Member Kai Biermeier (Project Z) receives the Best Paper Award Runner Up for his paper on visual attention in AR- and VR-environments at PETRA-Conference.
The annual World Conference on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) brings together experts from various fields of research to share and discuss knowledge, experiences and innovations in the field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence. As last year, many researchers from TRR 318 will be present at the XAI Conference this summer to present their latest publications.
Two TRR 318 researchers, Ngoc Chi Banh (A05) and Prof. Dr. Ingrid Scharlau (A05, C01, C04, RTG, co-authored in a recently published article. The work deals with the development of advanced assistance systems for vulnerable road users, especially cyclists, in order to achieve the ambitious goal of zero road deaths per year.
