Digital letter edition: Hans Werner Henze's network of artists
Hans Werner Henze (1926-2012) is considered one of the most important contemporary German opera composers as well as “the most colourful figures in the history of musical art after the Second World War” (Petersen 1988).

Goal-oriented adaptive finite elements for parameter identification of conventional and additive micromorphic continuum models
Due to deficiencies of local continua, in particular pathological mesh dependency of FE solutions on the numerical side and failure to simulate length scale dependent problems on the theoretical side, generalized continuum theories have wide areas of applications. In this project, we address the class of micromorphic continua, containing micropolar ...

DigiSelF - Digitalisierung als Herausforderung und Innovation in der Hochschullehre
Die sich zunehmend entwickelnden digitalen Lehrmaßnahmen werden als Chance, aber auch als Herausforderung für Lernende und Lehrende betrachtet. So haben sich z.B. Ungleichheiten hinsichtlich der Lernvoraussetzungen von Studierenden verstärkt und elektronische Prüfungen bergen die Gefahr, die Leistungsüberprüfung vorwiegend auf kognitive Inhalte zu ...

TRR 318 - Constructing Explainability
In unserer digitalen Gesellschaft nehmen die algorithmischen Ansätze (wie das maschinelle Lernen) rasant an Komplexität zu. Diese erschwert es den Bürger:innen, die Assistenz nachzuvollziehen und die von Algorithmen vorgeschlagenen Entscheidungen zu akzeptieren. Als Antwort auf diese gesellschaftliche Herausforderung hat die Forschung begonnen, ...

TRR 318 - Adaptive Explanation Generation (Subproject A01)
While explaining something, people generally take their conversation partner’s reactions into account and adapt their explanation accordingly. In Project A01, researchers from linguistics, psychology, and computer science are studying two components of this adjustment: cognitive adaptivity and interactive adaptivity. In cognitive adaptivity, the ...

TRR 318 - Monitoring the understanding of explanations (Subproject A02)
When something is being explained to someone, the explainee signals their understanding – or lack thereof – to the explainer with verbal expressions and other non-verbal means of communication, such as gestures and facial expressions. By nodding, the explainee can signal that they have understood. Nodding, however, can also be meant as a request to ...

TRR 318 - Integrating the technical model into the partner model in explanations of digital artifacts (Subproject A04)
Project A04 investigates the different perspectives on the contents of explanations, i.e. what an explanation is about, and how they may change in the course of an explanatory interactive dialogue. An explanation about a technical artifact (which might be a hammer as well as a digital game) can encompass two different perspectives: On the one hand, ...

TRR 318 - Contextualized and online parametrization of attention in human–robot explanatory dialog (Subproject A05)
In Project A05, researchers from the areas of linguistics, psychology, and computer science are investigating attention in human-robot explanatory dialog. They are addressing questions including: where do humans focus their attention when a robot explains a task to them? How can robots direct their counterpart’s attention to achieve the goal of the ...
