TRR 318-2 - Project Z: Central tasks of the Collaborative Research Center
Z is the central management hub of TRR 318: the project coordinates the budget, ensures internal communication, and organizes central events. In addition, Z pursues several missions aimed at best possible conditions, processes, and outcomes for the TRR’s research: offering an attractive interdisciplinary environment with empirical research support, ...

TRR 318 - Subproject IRG PB - Developing a symmetric mental models approach
Duration: 11/2023 - 10/2026
TRR 318 - Project B6: Ethics and normativity of explainable AI
Research on explaining and explainability needs ethical reflection, because explanations can be used to manipulate users or to create acceptance for a technology that is ethically or legally unacceptable. Moreover, designing explainability to meet ethical demands (e.g., justifiability, accountability, autonomy) must not necessarily be in line with ...

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 - Project A01: Adaptive explanation generation
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 - Project A02: Monitoring the understanding of explanations
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 - Project A03: Co-constructing explanations with emotional alignment between AI-explainer and human explainee
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 ...

TRR 318 - Project A04: Integrating the technical model into the partner model in explanations of digital artifacts
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, ...
