Peyman Toreini successfully defended on September 2nd 2020 his PhD thesis titled “Designing Attentive Information Dashboards with Eye Tracking Technology“. He convinced the examination committee (from left to right on the picture: Prof. Dr. Petra Nieken, Prof. Dr. Andreas Oberweis, Prof. Dr Alexander Mädche, Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer) with his research. We congratulate Peyman Toreini for the successful defense!

The Research Group of Prof. Mädche has received a DFG individual research grant titled “Advertising over Time: Interactive Machine Learning for Image Data Analysis“. The research project is carried out in cooperation with the University of Mannheim, Business School, Prof. Stahl. The overall objective of the project is to understand the evolution of advertising over time based on image data. Specifically, we will design an interactive machine learning (IML) system that provides scalable means to analyze large volume of image data to be studied to a period of more than 150 years.

Prof. Christof Weinhardt (IISM), Prof. Alexander Mädche (IISM), Prof. Petra Nieken (IBU), Prof. Benjamin Scheibehenne (IISM), Prof. Nora Szech (ECON), Prof. Melanie Volkamer (AIFB), and Prof. Alexander Woll (IFSS), have jointly received funding for building the Karlsruhe Decision & Design Experimentation Ecosystem (KD²Ex). The financial support from a call for an instrumentation funding program within the university of excellence measure KIT Future Fields enables new forms of participatory research: Digital Citizen Science with a focus on the area of "Wellbeing at Home".

The Journal of Consumer Behavior published a research paper by Moritz Ingendahl, Dennis Hummel, Alexander Maedche, and Tobias Vogel.

Moritz Langner, Peyman Toreini, and Alexander Maedche have received an award at the NeuroIS Retreat 2020 for their paper „Attention Board: A Quantified-Self Dashboard for Enhancing Attention Management with Eye-Tracking“
 
Title: Attention Board: A Quantified-Self Dashboard for Enhancing Atention Management with Eye-Tracking
Authors: Moritz Langner, Peyman Toreini, and Alexander Maedche
 
Abstract: In the age of information, office workers process huge amounts of information and distribute their attention to several tasks in parallel.

Together with Telefonica Germany and the Saarland University we have investigated the improvement of the natural language capabilities of the chatbot AURA from O2.

Within the new strategic IISM initiative "Karlsruhe Citizen Experimentation" we plan investigate innovative Citizen Science approaches within large-scale field experiment.

Practical seminars are embedded in many of our Bachelor / Master modules and provide an alternative to traditional lectures. In practical seminars, students get an individual assignment and develop a running software prototype.

Join us! New doctoral scholarship with a focus on "Human-AI Interaction (esp. Intelligent Assistants)" at the Karlsruhe School of Services (KSOS).
