- Developing systems that make human-technology interaction explainable and interpretable
- Enabling multimodal face-to-face interaction with conversational agents
- Human-aware collaborative agents based on dynamic mentalizing and theory of mind
- Developing computational methods for efficient social cognition in interaction
Welcome to the Social Cognitive Systems Group
Research group at the Faculty of Technology of Bielefeld University and part of the research center Cognitive Interaction Technology CITEC.
We investigate social interaction intelligence for artificial systems and human-aware AI: How can cognitive systems understand and cooperate with other agents? How can they learn to communicate efficiently and adapt dynamically in interaction? How do humans perceive and interact with them? We study these questions to develop intelligent interactive systems, like social robots or 3D virtual agents, that enable novel human-machine cooperation scenarios in assisted living, educational, health, or work domains.
