On 6 and 7 November, TRR 318 will host the conference "Measuring Understanding". Researchers from all disciplines have until 5 June to submit their abstracts.

In a new study by the Universities of Bielefeld and Bremen, scientists are investigating how humans can better follow the instructions of a robot. Several researchers from the Transregio are involved in the study.

The first "German AI Month mAI" will take place from 1 to 31 May 2023. TRR 318 is participating in the initiative and organising a co-construction workshop on May 15th at Bielefeld University for people interested in AI (workshop in German).

Marco Matarese is a PhD student at the University of Genoa and visiting researcher in subproject A01 of TRR 318 on a four-month PhD fellowship until the end of June. His research focuses on adaptive explanations and explainable AI.

The new issue of the TRR 318 newsletter "Developing Explanations Together" has been published and gives an insight into the background work of the research in TRR 318.

Ronja Hannebohm is the managing director of TRR 318. Her diverse tasks show how central this work is to the research at TRR 318. In this interview, she talks about her day-to-day work and what it means to organize a large research center.

All TRR 318 scientists will meet in Hamm to work on the research group's topics and especially the synthesis process.

A team of computer scientists from Bielefeld University has conducted a study to investigate how visualizations in augmented reality can increase users’ understanding, trust, and acceptance of a robot.

The AI system ChatGPT is based on a language model and automatically generates text in chat format. Professor Dr Henning Wachsmuth explains how it works and what ChatGPT cannot yet do.

Sociologist Nils Klowait asked ChatGPT to program a computer game and summarise scientific papers. In this interview, he describes his impressions of ChatGPT and the chances and risks of such AI systems.

With "SNAPE," computer scientists from TRR 318 have developed a model which can adjust its explanation strategies to the individual needs of the explainee.

Modern natural language processing programs still have trouble coming to grips with figurative language. Computational linguists from TRR 318 are proposing a new approach.

The Research Training Group of the Transregio invites doctoral students worldwide to work on project-relevant topics in Paderborn or Bielefeld.

Scientists from TRR 318 present their new findings and research on explainable artificial intelligence in a special issue of the journal for artificial intelligence published by Springer-Verlag.
