Ordered DNA origami lattices on silicon surfaces for molecular lithography
While the use of individual DNA origami nanostructures in the molecular lithography fabrication of functional metal nanostructures is well-established, the application of ordered DNA origami lattices as lithography masks faces several challenges. In the first phase of this project, we demonstrated the successful assembly of hexagonal and fishnet ...

Erweiterte Messtechnik und Modellierung der verweilzeitabh?ngigen Molekularstrukturen von Polymeren
Im Rahmen einer Kreislaufwirtschaft kommt es zu der Mehrfachverarbeitung von Kunststoffen. Hierdurch kann zwar eine Synthetisierung von Neuware aus Erd?l vermieden werden, jedoch stellt die Beibehaltung der Materialeigenschaften beim Recycling von Kunststoffen eine Herausforderung dar. Bei jeder Verarbeitung von Kunststoffen werden diese ...

TRR 318-2 - Project RTG: Integrated Research Training Group
The RTG structures the further training of early career researchers and prepares them for their interdisciplinary research work by familiarizing them with different scientific practices, disciplinary cultures, methods, attitudes and values and by fostering communication across disciplines or discourse communities including the public. The RTG aims ...

TRR 318-2 - Project WIKO: Questions about explainable technology
WIKO integrates AI explanation research with public outreach, now focusing on advancing eXplainable AI (XAI) Literacy to foster understanding and reflection on transparent AI. Through self conceptualized and conducted Co-Construction workshops (CCWS), participants from different public sectors actively engage with AI systems, promoting critical ...

TRR 318-2 - Project INF: Retrieval-augmented information provision
INF provides foundations for all projects. These include services and infrastructure for data access, evaluation, and management as well as cross-cutting research questions. In the first funding period, the focus was on assessing the quality of explanations, modeling explanatory dialog sequences as well as ontology and tool development. In the ...

TRR 318-2 - Project C07: Co-construction-following large language models for explaining
C07 studies the adjustment of LLM training processes and knowledge integration to enable the successful co-construction of explanations. Scaffolding and monitoring are operationalized via a novel fine-tuning process that teaches LLMs to explain dialogically while modeling dialog states. A novel co-construction-aware RAG approach exploits these ...

TRR 318-2 - Project C05: Creating explanations in collaborative human–machine knowledge exploration
C05 investigates how humans and AI systems can jointly explore a decision space to make an explainable and well-founded decision. We focus on diagnostic decision-making in medicine and combine empirical studies on physicians' exploration strategies and cognitive biases, as well as on assessments of ex-planations and argument strength, with the ...

TRR 318-2 - Project C04: Metaphors as an explanation tool
Explanations of abstract explananda (such as AI systems) need metaphors to relate new, abstract knowledge to more concrete concepts. In the first phase, we studied how metaphors highlight and hide aspects to foster understanding, how to model their agency structure, and how they are used for explaining. In the second, we will investigate how to ...
