TRR 318-2 - Project A01: Adaptive explanation generation

Our aim is to investigate the adaptation mechanisms enabling partners to interactively construct an explanation, and then to imbue interactive XAI systems with similar capabilities. Based on results suggesting an interplay between interactive (verbal moves) and cognitive adaptivity (partner model), we developed a computational model for generating ...

TRR 318-2 - Project A02: Monitoring the understanding of explanations

Our goal is to build a computational architecture that will monitor a human interlocutor’s moments of (non)understanding in multimodal ensembles. We will make artificial EXs able to reason about these and adapt their explanatory strategy. Utilizing a large corpus of explanations (MUNDEX), we integrate rich, multimodal signals with different ...

TRR 318-2 - Project A04: Co-constructing duality-enhanced explanations

Technical artifacts can be explained via their Architecture (e.g., structure and mechanisms) and their Relevance (e.g., functions and goals)—summarized as Duality. We will analyze human-human explanations of digital artifacts with respect to duality-related monitoring and multimodal scaffolding and how it is tailored to EEs’ social roles, and ...

TRR 318-2 - Project A05: Contextualized and online parametrization of scaffolding in human–robot explanatory dialog

Negation and verbal contrast are important means of scaffolding. When negations are provided during explaining joint actions, they link the present knowledge about actions to those that have been performed in the past. We continue to develop scaffolding strategies for a dialog with a social robot in a joint action setting. Our long-term objective ...

TRR 318-2 - Project B06: Ethics and normativity of explainable AI

B06 investigates the normative purposes of XAI. In the first funding period we have established that there are many different normative grounds for XAI. To assess them, it is necessary to take the organizational context of XAI into account. To that aim, media studies will clarify the organizational context in which XAI is embedded, where this ...

The right to conquer - Legitimising Conquests in the early and high Middle Ages

Conquests required legitimation. This project aims to show that this is also true for the earlier Middle Ages (c. 500 - c. 1150), thus refuting the prevailing scholarly views on this issue. By demonstrating that the military expansion of rule required justification this work is poised to make significant contributions to the study of the concept of ...

Resistance against foreign rulers in the high and late Middle Ages. On ethnic and nationall identity formation in medieval conflicts

The primary aim of the project is to systematically analyse resistance to foreign rulers and thus the effects of foreign rule in the high and late Middle Ages by means of a comprehensive comparison of individual conflicts and to identify the conditions under which foreign rule productively promoted the formation of new identities. On this basis, it ...
