Rebecca Lazarides (Science of Intelligence), “From understanding learners’ adaptive motivation and emotion to designing social learning companions”

MAR 2.057

Abstract:  High motivation and positive emotions are important prerequisites for effective knowledge transfer, while negative emotions can impede the acquisition of new knowledge. This talk presents our current state of research in SCIoI's project 06 that aims at identifying adaptive teaching strategies of humans, and to synthesize them with the goal to test whether these

Ralf Kurvers at “Meet the Scientist”, Humboldt Forum

"Should I listen to you – or not?" Should I listen to you? Or should I ignore you when making up my mind? And what factors shape my decision-making? Questions like these are the field of behavioral researchers from the Cluster of Excellence “Science of Intelligence”. Here, psychologists, computer scientists, biologists, neuroscientists, educational scientists, philosophers,

Tilman Geishauer, “Virtual Reality – From Research to Market”

SCIoI, MAR Building Marchstr. 23, Berlin

Abstract: Tilman Geishauser is currently working at Somareality to create a virtual reality focused product out of a cognitive load algorithm based on pupillometry that has been in development for 8 years at Research Studios Austria. In the past he invented one of Germanys most promising VR tools: Halocline Layout. He lead his team at

Karoline Wiesner (University of Potsdam) “Information entropy in complex systems”

Lecture by Prof. Karoline Wiesner, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Potsdam Abstract: I begin with an introduction to the nature of complex systems. From a foundational perspective, I will present a systematic description of their features. This will be followed by a brief discussion of the role of information theory in the analysis

SCIoI+MoA CollActive Materials Event, “Woraus ist deine Zukunft gemacht?”: IdeenLabor, Kombucha Workshop, and family activities!

Mall Anders, Wilma Arkaden Wilmersdorfer Str. 46, Berlin, Germany

What do sensitive robots, gripping plants and creative bacteria have in common? Let's find out together! In "CollActive Materials" experimental laboratory, a joint project of SCIoI and MoA,  research and society come together to explore the materials of the future: Can they be more active or more intelligent than the materials of today? Come by to

Thursday Morning Talk

Florian Blume, Martin Maier, Doris Pischedda, Olga Wudarczyk-Markett and Murat Kirtay (Science of Intelligence)

Abstract: Social interaction and communication are supported by the integration of multimodal signals. One crucial social cue when interacting with other humans are facial expressions. In Project 8, we study how people not only read information from faces, but how they read meaning into faces based on context and prior knowledge. Incorporating sources of information

PI Lecture

Max Wolf, “Fishy twin studies and the origin of personality differences”

Abstract: I will discuss research on a powerful biological model system, the natural clonal fish Amazon molly. Mothers in this female-only species produce genetically identical offspring, allowing us to employ an experimental twin study approach to address some of the most fundamental questions associated with behaviour and the development of behaviour. Do twins separated directly

Dafna Burema; Mattis Jacobs (Science of Intelligence), “Workshop: Discussing ethically problematic “incidents” of AI systems”

(In-person talk at Science of Intelligence) Workshop: Discussing ethically problematic “incidents” of AI systems In the Thursday morning talk, we discuss ethically problematic incidents of AI that we selected from the AIAAIC Repository. In total, we discuss four cases. In a first step, we present a brief overview what occurred in the respective cases, based on media

Thursday Morning Talk with Andrea Iannelli (ETHZ), “Learning and Controlling: Robustness, Informativity and Adaptation”

Abstract: The abundance of available data on the one hand, and the increase in systems complexity caused by the need to cope with new challenging tasks on the other, have put research on so-called learning and data-driven methods in the agenda of virtually every engineering field. Control theory is no exception. In fact, some of

Nicolas Roth, Aravind Battaje, Adrian Sieler and Vincent Wall (Science of Intelligence), “Integration Hackathons for Behavior 1”

A cornerstone of SCIoI are the three example behaviors that provide the motivation, as well as the demonstration platforms to showcase the amazing research happening within the cluster. In order to get the ball rolling towards interesting example behaviors, we have recently started regular "integration hackathon" meetings. They bring together people from different projects, who
