TRR 318 - Project A03: Co-constructing explanations with emotional alignment between AI-explainer and human explainee

Overview

Emotional reactions in social interactions are unavoidable. The underlying assumption of Project A03 is that emotional cues by the explainee are an important feedback for the explainer. Also, emotions bias the human process of understanding which is reflected in the questions that an explainee asks. Therefore, the investigations will focus on how explanations may serve the active process of understanding by altering emotional responses as well as cognitive appraisal processes of the explainee. The aim of this project is the technological development of an emotion-based model of understanding serving as a scaffold to support the decision making of explainees.
