Adaptive explanation generation (A01)

• Subject Area: Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing ; Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics ; Developmental and Educational Psychology ; Methods in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 438445824

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 explanations. In the next funding period, we will extend our studies to self-model, role perception, and metacommunication in order to account for flexible and co-constructed adaptation in dynamic explanation contexts.
