Having a great time at the poster session of IVA 24!

It’s official: the IVA has started! Enjoy it.

Dominik Battefeld (@trr_318 Project C05) will present our research on how to reveal dynamic reasoning trajectories of medical experts in diagnostic decisions at #CogSci2024 in Rotterdam.

Lina (both in real and as her virtual avatar) presented an AI-based adaptive explanation assistant at the "Praxistag" of the @sail_network

Had a very stimulating research group colloquium yesterday with guest speaker Julian Jara-Ettinger (Yale University) talking about the computational cognitive structure of human social intelligence.

Jan received the dissertation prize of the Bielefeld University Society for the best PhD thesis in Computer Science in 2023! 🥳

„Action-driven mentalizing in realtime human-agent collaboration“ — paper accepted at CHI 2024 Workshop on ToM in Human-AI interaction

Congratulations to N. Krome and S. Kopp for winning the #IEEEAIXVR 2024 best poster award for their work “Minimal Latency Speech-Driven Gesture Generation for Continuous Interaction in Social XR.”

Come join us! New job opportunity (full-time researcher/PhD student) to work on multimodal creativity in AI-based co-speech gesture generation in a Collaborative Research Center on Linguistic Creativity at Bielefeld U. scs.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/jobs

Paper acceptance news🙂: Three long papers accepted at ACM Intelligent Virtual Agents conference #IVA23

Today, Stefan is going to RWTH Aachen to give a guest lecture on large language models and a colloq talk on cognitive systems as human-aware artificial interaction partners.

🗣️Have you check the social events of #IVA23? 🏰On the first day, the Conference Reception will happen in the historic town hall of Würzburg, the major himself is inviting. 🍷Afterwards, we recommend a glass of wine on the “Alte Mainbrücke”, an historic bridge across the Main.

@ACM_IVA This will be a great social event and also an exciting conference on AI, embodied interaction and socially intelligent agents. Join us in Würzburg! @ACM_IVA
