Understanding
The synthesis group Understanding deals with the concept of understanding and its meaning in the context of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). Its focus is on the distinction between two main aspects of understanding as a result of the explanation process: comprehension ("knowing that") and enabledness ("knowing how"). The group also differentiates between shallow and deep understanding. As part of their interdisciplinary research, which combines computer science, linguistics, sociology and psychology, a definition of understanding and its forms, as well as its evaluation and dynamics in everyday life, is being investigated.
