TRR 318 - Subproject C4 - Metaphors as an explanation tool
Project C04 investigates metaphors as a specific means to make difficult phenomena interpretable. The innovative aspect is to regard both highlighting and hiding processes when metaphors are utilized in explanations. The project aims to understand how metaphors may either facilitate or impede understanding, and how this understanding can be applied ...

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 ...

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 - 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 ...

PT symmetry and non-Hermitian physics in polariton condensates in semiconductor microcavities
Nicht-hermitesche physikalische Systeme erhalten immer mehr Aufmerksamtkeit, da sie viele einzigartige und unkonventionelle Eigenschaften zeigen. In Systemen, die durch einen nicht-hermiteschen Hamiltonoperator beschrieben werden, kann Parität-Zeit (PT) Symmetrie dazu führen, dass das System reelle Eigenenergieen aufweist; diese werden ...
