TRR 318 - Project C04: 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 - Project C06: Technically enabled explanation of speaker traits
A voice might be described as hoarse, or it may be clear, deep, or breathy. Researchers in Project C06 are looking at issues of how different vocal traits sound, and how a voice can be represented in all of its many facets. Here, linguists and computer scientists are working to develop an intelligent system that professionals can use to explain the ...

TRR 318 - Project B05: Co-constructing explainability with an interactively learning robot
In close collaboration with Project Ö, Project B05 tackles the question of how explainability can be achieved through co-construction within learning task rather than an explicit explanation. More specifically, it investigates how explainees’ mental model about a learning robot is influenced by their gender, age, and workshops (from Project Ö that ...

TRR 318 - Project C03: Interpretable machine learning: Explaining change
Project C03 centers on how to account for dynamic properties of an explanandum. Its target is to deliver a model that will explain a drift of data that a machine learning model undergoes over time as a result of nonstationary distributions and evolving training data. The project will go beyond a mere transfer of established methodology ...

TRR 318 - Project C05: Creating explanations in collaborative human–machine knowledge exploration
Project C05 is concerned with developing the foundations of systems that interactively support users in exploring a decision domain to reach a decision that is explainable and accountable. The focus is on modeling the use of interventional and counterfactual inferences over domain knowledge in an explorative decision-making process. On this basis, ...

TRR 318 - Project INF: Toward a framework for assessing explanation quality
The INF Project will establish an infrastructure for the individual projects by providing guidelines for annotation tools and data collection. The guidelines foster unified ways of data management and make it possible for the data from the individual projects to flow directly into analyses of what is a successful explanation. A further task of the ...

TRR 318 - Project Ö: Questions about explainable technology
The public relations Project Ö will communicate the interdisciplinary research of the TRR to the public by focusing on the main idea of co-construction, namely the process in which the role of the explainee has changed from passive receiver of information to an active subject. In this vein, so called co-construction workshops (CCWS) will be ...
