The speech signal is a rich source of information that conveys not only linguistic but also para-linguistic information such as identity, gender, emotional state or age. However, these features are hidden in complex, non-transparent variations of the speech signal. The project "Deep Phonetics" of our Communications Engineering workgroup is investigating precisely these para-linguistic dimensions and getting to the bottom of the following…

New products require not only technology, but also expertise: Annika Reich presented a “method for developing digital business models using customer data to increase value” at the VDI Automation 2025 conference. With the help of this method, companies can use key technologies such as augmented reality to generate customer data, for example on maintenance processes, and build an expanded value proposition in the form of customer-specific training…
The sub-project B06 of the SFB/TRR 318 "Constructing Explainability" investigates the normativity of XAI from an ethical and media science perspective. To date, there has been a lack of research into the normativity of XAI, i.e., among other things, an analysis of the question of what XAI is actually supposed to be good for, because explanations are not an end in themselves. The lack of examination of the question of the purposes of XAI is due to…
