Congratulations to one of our PIs Barbara @HammerLabML for being inducted into Academia Europea!

🚨 Thrilled to announce a new preprint! 📝 Title: Lexicalization Is All You Need: Examining the Impact of Lexical Knowledge in a Compositional QALD System 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 Authors: David Maria Schmidt, Mohammad Fazleh Elahi, Philipp Cimiano @pcimiano 🔗 Preprint:

our @WaterFuturesERC Synergy Grant Meeting at @KWR_Water - Our interdisciplinary team is shaping the #future of #urban drinking #watersystems More on our project 👉 https://t.co/BjNhiCZ1Q3 @KIOSCoE @KWR_Water @unibielefeld @Water_UofExeter @HammerLabML @AUEB

We are co-organizing a bridge on “Explainable AI, Energy and Critical Infrastructure Systems” at @RealAAAI 2025. This is a great opportunity to boost #XAI for critical infrastructure such as Water Distribution Systems🤓 Check out the webpage for details👇 https://t.co/cFLp7lIgzZ

🎉 Exciting news! The proceedings from the ✨DataNinja sAIOnARA 2024 Conference✨have been published, featuring extended abstracts of the outstanding posters presented. Check out the incredible research from our #AI community in #NRW! 👉 https://t.co/GZFnQx5YJq @MKW_NRW

Plädoyer für eine bessere Kommunikation! Danke @HammerLabML Wir sind gespannt auf die Fortsetzung der Diskussionen rund um #KI beim nächsten Gipfel für #Forschung und #Innovation! Ergebnisse des Gipfels 2024: https://t.co/ImQbtHSkzc

🚀Barbara Hammer enjoyed great discussions at today’s follow-up breakfast from the Research & Innovation Summit @stifterverband on speeding up AI in 🇩🇪&🇪🇺: 💡Unified AI strategies 💡Legal clarity 💡Faster innovation 💡Investment in AI skills https://t.co/EE1hzOea0T

New research project started!🥳🎉 We launched our new project "KI-Akademie OWL", in which @unipb, @unibielefeld, #HSBI and @THochschuleOWL are involved, with a joint kick-off event in Bielefeld.🤩🤝 Stay tuned for updates!🦉🎓

Last day @IJCAIconf, and we‘re starting strong with #XAI! Keynote by @fra_toni that bridges 🌉 explainability 🗣️ and contestability 🙅‍♀️, advocating for #XAI that allows humans to challenge and change the AI by computational 💻 argumentation.

Andre Artelt applied DataSHAP to investigate the effect of training data samples on explanation. A paper with lovely theory and a nice case study using this to investigate group fairness. Interesting results.

#XAI workshop @IJCAIconf: André Artelt showing how training samples impact explanations: ➡️suggesting a quantification of explanation importance ➡️how to find the most relevant samples for a explanation ➡️showing how removal of identified samples may reduce unfairness

🎉Exciting News! Our own André Artelt & his @WaterFuturesERC colleagues just won the Best Poster 🏆 at the '#AI for Critical Infrastructure Workshop' @IJCAIconf, presenting the EPyT-Flow Toolbox!🧰 📜➡️ https://t.co/ndAnRBpRd3 🧑‍💻➡️@GitHub: https://t.co/FHIJFOkLhj Congratulations!

It’s a wrap on the tutorial on #counterfactuals and user studies for #XAI @IJCAIconf. Anyone who’s curious: The materials (slides and code) are available @github: https://t.co/BN9uPkOtz1 For more info about the general program, visit

@IJCAIconf, the #XAI tutorial by our own André Artelt and @DrUlrikeKuhl, together with @keanema, is in session! It started with a history of counterfactuals in psychology and first basics of user studies, followed by computational foundations of computing counterfactuals.

@IJCAIconf I‘ve had a great time presenting the basics of how to run effective user studies to explore the usability of XAI! Anyone who’s curious: The materials (slides and code) are available @github: https://t.co/MU6BO5JKvM ✨Thanks to everyone attending this full day program! ✨

#Tutorial At the T06: All You Ever Need to Know About Counterfactual Explanations: Fundamentals, Methods, & User Studies for XAI, with Ulrike Kuhl @DrUlrikeKuhl on the speaker's podium. https://t.co/TIXZB4VBGV #IJCAI2024

@IJCAIconf, let’s go! About to board the plane for Jeju 🇰🇷 via Shanghai! Can't wait to dive into the ins and outs of #CounterfactualExplanations in #XAI and #UserStudies this Saturday with André Artelt and @keanema: https://t.co/fo8NCS6NbP See you all soon! ✈️

Today, André Artelt had a great time at the 2nd World Conference on #XAI in beautiful Malta🇲🇹 presenting his latest research on group counterfactual explanations Check out the pre-print https://t.co/I8xykGmf0D #Counterfactuals #MachineLearning

📣Last Call for the TempXAI workshop @ECMLPKDD 2024 in beautiful Vilnius, Lithuania🇱🇹. We are interested in time series, online learning, and temporal Explainable Artificial Intelligence! ⏰Paper Deadline: July 04 2024 🔗 https://t.co/jBQNCcMpIW @XAI_Research @trr_318
