• fixed-term

About the TRR and the project

The transregional collaborative research center (TRR) “Constructing Explainability” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the Universities of Paderborn and Bielefeld, deals with explainable and explanatory artificial intelligence. The central hypothesis of the TRR is that explanations should be co-constructed by dialogue partners so that humans can make confident and informed decisions when interacting with intelligent systems.

To this end, both universities aim to contribute basic research in the areas of co-constructive explanation processes and their mechanisms, explanation as a socio-technical phenomenon, and computational representations of the dynamics of co-constructive explanation. They bring together different disciplinary perspectives both at the level of individual projects and the TRR as a whole. The goal of the second funding phase is to develop more flexible, personalized, proactive explanation systems (sXAI) that take social and situational context into account when adapting their explanatory behavior.

Project C05

Project C05 implements a new approach in the field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) that supports cooperative decision-making between humans and machines. Humans and machines are to systematically explore the decision space and decision options together, evaluating all options by generating arguments. For this new cooperative approach, new systems are to be developed and evaluated with medical professionals.

• research activities (100 %):
  • research into new approaches in the field of evaluative XAI
