Data & Knowledge Engineering Group
The main focus of the research group Data & Knowledge Engineering is the development of methods for interactive information retrieval and exploration. Besides the design of adaptive user interfaces, one research topic is the development of methods to adapt a retrieval system dynamically to the needs and interests of the user. This involves the development of methods, that monitor and analyse the behaviour of individual users to obtain information about their needs and interests. This information will be used to reorganise the structure and the presentation of the considered document collection and search results in order to support users individually. In our offered courses we convey students a basic introduction in used technologies and offer manifold possibilities for collaboration in current research projects.
ICHMS 2024
The 4th IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS) will be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 15-17, 2024, as an in-person event. The theme of the 4th ICHMS is “Trustworthy Human-Autonomy Teaming”. The conference will specifically cover progress and contributions on brain-inspired autonomous systems at multiple scales, including cognitive science, engineering, and design for safe and trusted human-autonomy teaming; technological aids for verifiable artificial intelligence (AI) decisions; trust modeling, measures, and management, and fundamental issues of trust and barriers to adoption of AI-enabled autonomy in complex socio-technical systems.
Handbook Human-Machine Systems published
We are pleased to announce the publication of the Handbook of Human-Machine Systems. The editors are Giancarlo Fortino, David Kaber, Andreas Nürnberger, and David Mendonça. In the Handbook of Human-Machine Systems, a team of distinguished researchers provides a comprehensive exploration of human-machine systems (HMS) research and development from a variety of illuminating perspectives. The book provides a big-picture view of the state of the art in HMS research and technology. Contributors cover brain-machine interfaces and systems, including assistive technologies such as devices that enhance locomotion. They also discuss advances in the scientific and engineering foundations of Collaborative Intelligent Systems and applications.
