SUMMARY:David Bierbach (Science of Intelligence)\, "Anticipation in social interactions among live and artificial agents"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe aim of SCIoI’s P10 is to investigate how anticipation and prediction shapes social interactions among live and artificial agents using for example the Robofish system. We will outline our research showing the sophisticated anticipation abilities of live fish\, as well as how we integrated prediction and anticipation into Robofish’s social interaction behaviors. We will furthermore show how experiments with robotic animals can help to promote animal welfare and what is necessary to build biomimetic robots that will be accepted by live animals as conspecifics (see also these articles: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbioe.2020.00441/full\,  https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-control-061920-103228\, https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-64313-3_26 ). Finally we will dive into our public outreach activities that include the Robofish exhibition in the Humboldt Labor at Stadtschloss Berlin with more than 100\,000 visitors since 2021. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n

SUMMARY:Jan De Houwer (Ghent University)\, "Learning in Individual Organisms\, Genes\, Machines\, and Groups: A New Way of Defining and Relating Learning in Different Systems"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nLearning is a central concept in many scientific disciplines. Communication about research on learning is\, however\, hampered by the fact that different researchers define learning in different ways. In this talk\, we introduce the extended functional definition of learning that can be used across scientific disciplines. We provide examples of how the definition can be applied to individual organisms\, genes\, machines\, and groups. The extended functional definition (a) reveals a heuristic framework for research that can be applied across scientific disciplines\, (b) allows researchers to engage in intersystem analyses that relate the behavior and learning of different systems\, and (c) clarifies how learning differs from other phenomena such as (changes in) behavior\, damaging systems\, and programming systems. \nPhoto by DeepMind on Unsplash \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n

SUMMARY:What are futures made of? Collactive Materials\, a joint SCIoI/MoA project
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe BUA-funded experimental knowledge transfer project CollActive Materials\, a collaboration between the Clusters of Excellence Science of Intelligence and Matters of Activity\, encourages speculation on what the future has in store. \nWhich intelligent materials will pave our tomorrows? How can substances and materials change our world in an intelligent way? What will the world look like in the coming decades\, and how can we turn our speculations into something tangible?  Finally\, what kinds of relationships could we create with intelligent materials? \nIn this Thursday Morning Talk the audience will learn more about the CollActive Materials project and all the exciting interactions between the two clusters\, and most importantly\, they will get a chance to dive into the project themselves by taking part in a mini speculative design exercise. \nSPEAKERS:  \nLéa Perraudin is a media theorist and speculative material scholar and works as postdoctoral research associate at the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material«. Léa currently works on a habilitation project\, bringing forth a media theory of phase transitions by investigating the ties of material and metaphor in contemporary technocapitalist media environments through transience\, dispersal\, abundance and solidification.\nFurthermore\, Léa is the co-leader of the experimental laboratory »CollActive Materials«\, a joint project of the Clusters of Excellence »Matters of Activity« and »Science of Intelligence«\, that intends to gather multiple publics to jointly tackle possible material futures through the method of speculative design. \nMartin Müller researches at the intersection of cultural history and theory\, media studies\, history of knowledge and science\, and design theory. He is a postdoctoral research associate at the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material« – in the projects »Symbolic Material« and »Material Form Function«. Since 2015 he has been teaching at the Department of Cultural History and Theory at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Martin is the co-leader of the experimental laboratory for knowledge exchange and speculative design »CollActive Materials«. Recently published: »The Will to Engineer. Synthetic Biology and the Escalation of Zoëpolitics«\, in: P. Ribault (Ed.): Design\, Gestaltung\, Formatività\, 2022 \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n

SUMMARY:Heiner Spiess (Science of Intelligence)\, “Tools To Study the Generality of Deep Neural Network Representations”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nAs many of us know by now\, Deep Learning has enabled tackling very challenging problems and applications that were previously almost impossible to solve with machine learning. However\, for most of the tasks we want to solve with Deep Learning\, we need large\, if not huge\, amounts of data and computing power. This is very limiting for many applications for which we do not have the necessary amounts of data or for practitioners who do not have access to enough computation power to train well-performing Deep Networks for their desired tasks.We hope to overcome these two limitations by leveraging the generality of already trained models through Transfer Learning or combining the information from multiple\, perhaps relatively small\, datasets with Multi-Task-Learning.In this project\, we are investigating the generality of representations learned by Deep Networks. Today I would like to introduce one of the families of tools we use in this effort: Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA).I will present the methodology behind these tools and provide some insights into Deep Networks gained through their use. However\, I would highlight some concerns to be aware of when using these tools and present some challenges that arise in practice. Considering these concerns\, I will present a variant of these tools that solves some of the existing problems.Furthermore\, I will shortly present a tool that we have developed to synthesize realistic image data\, allowing us to systematically analyse which properties of the data are represented in Deep Networks.Finally\, I want to mention our SCIoI cooperation with project 01 on “Scanpath Prediction in Dynamic Scenes using an end-to-end Deep Learning approach”. \nPhoto by Nina Ž. on Unsplash \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n

SUMMARY:Berlin Science Week 2022 - Collective Materials Workshop\, "What is the Future Made Of?"
DESCRIPTION:Nature is a great designer. Through billions of years of evolution – of design trial and error (or re-route) – it has come up with uniquely functional and beautiful materials. It uses simple materials in clever ways. Natural materials are often sophisticated in structure and function\, yet they are made from simple\, abundant resources. More than that\, they are designed to be part of a natural cycle of making and breaking down – no material is wasted. CollActive Materials\, together with the speculative designer Emilia Tikka\, invites you to a hands-on speculation workshop. Find out how researchers from Matters of Activity and Science of Intelligence use bio-design in their work – and make up your very own version of a bio-inspired future. \nVisit the BSW website page for more info \nPhoto taken from Berlin Science Week \nThe Zoom Link will be sent the day before the lecture.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Scott Robbins\, "What Machine's Shouldn't Do"
DESCRIPTION:From writing essays to evaluating potential hires\, machines are doing a lot these days. In all spheres of life\, it seems that machines are being delegated more and more decisions. Some of these machines are being delegated decisions that could have significant impact on human lives. Examples of such machines which have caused such impact are widespread and include machines evaluating loan applications\, machines evaluating criminals for sentencing\, autonomous weapon systems\, driverless cars\, digital assistants\, etc. Considering that machines cannot be held morally accountable for their actions (Bryson\, 2010; Johnson\, 2006; van Wynsberghe & Robbins\, 2018)\, the question that governments\, NGOs\, academics\, and the general public should be asking themselves is: how do we keep meaningful human control (MHC) over these machines? \nThe literature thus far details what features the machine or the context must have in order for MHC to be realized. Should humans be in the loop or on the loop? Should we force machines to be explainable? Lastly\, should we endow machines with moral reasoning capabilities? (Ekelhof\, 2019; Floridi et al.\, 2018; Robbins\, 2019a\, 2019b; Santoni de Sio & van den Hoven\, 2018; Wendall Wallach & Allen\, 2010; Wendell Wallach\, 2007). Rather than look to the machine itself or what part humans have to play in the context\, I argue here that we should shine the spotlight on the decisions that machines are being delegated. Meaningful human control\, then\, will be about controlling what decisions get made by machines. \nI argue that keeping meaningful human control over machines (especially AI which relies on opaque methods) means restricting machines to decisions that do not require a justifying explanation and can\, in principle\, be proven efficacious. Because contemporary methodologies in AI are opaque\, many machines cannot offer explanations for their outputs. In many cases\, decisions require justifying explanations\, and we should therefore not use machines for such cases. It won’t be surprising that machines should be efficacious if they are to be used – especially in contexts that will have impacts on human beings. Increasingly\, however\, machines are being delegated decisions for which we are unable\, in principle\, to evaluate their efficacy. This should not happen. \nThese arguments lead to the conclusion that machines should be restricted to descriptive outputs. It must always be a human being deciding how to employ evaluative terms as these terms not only refer to specific states of affairs but also say something about how the world ought to be. Machines which are able to make decisions based on opaque considerations should not be telling humans how the world ought to be. This is a breakdown of human control in the most severe way. Not only would we be losing control over specific decisions in specific contexts\, but we would be losing control over what descriptive content grounds evaluative classifications. \n  \nPhoto by Alex Knight on Unsplash \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n

SUMMARY:Jens Krause (HU Berlin)\, "Mexican Waves: The Adaptive Value of Collective Behaviour".
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe collective behaviour of animals has attracted considerable attention in recent years\, with many studies exploring how local interactions between individuals can give rise to global group properties. The functional aspects of collective behaviour are less well studied\, especially in the field and relatively few studies have investigated the adaptive benefits of collective behaviour in situations where prey are attacked by predators. This paucity of studies is unsurprising because predator-prey interactions in the field are difficult to observe. Furthermore\, the focus in recent studies on predator-prey interactions has been on the collective behaviour of the prey rather than on the behaviour of the predator. Here I present a field study that investigated the antipredator benefits of waves produced by fish at the water surface when diving down collectively in response to attacks of avian predators. Fish engaged in surface waves that were highly conspicuous\, repetitive\, and rhythmic involving many thousands of individuals for up to 2 min. Collective fish waves increased the time birds waited until their next attack and also reduced capture probability in three avian predators that greatly differed in size\, appearance and hunting strategy. Taken together\, these results support a generic antipredator function of fish waves which could be a result of a confusion effect or a consequence of waves acting as a perception advertisement\, which requires further exploration. \nThe Zoom Link will be sent the day before the lecture.

SUMMARY:Alan Tump\, Dominik Deffner\, David Mezey (Science of Intelligence)\, “How Cognitive Computational Modeling Can Help Us Better Understand Principles Underlying Collective Intelligence”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCollective dynamics play a crucial role in everyday decision-making. Whether social influence promotes the spread of accurate information\, and ultimately results in collective intelligence\, or leads to false information cascades and maladaptive social contagion depends on the cognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions. \nIn our talk\, we will argue that cognitive modeling\, in tandem with experiments that allow collective dynamics to emerge\, can mechanistically link cognitive processes at the individual and collective levels and\, thus\, provides a fruitful path forward in identifying principles of collective intelligence. \nWe will show how such cognitive computational approaches are increasingly being used to better understand social and collective decision-making\, and will explore how we can extend this strategy to more unconstrained social decision spaces\, typical of real-world collective intelligence. \n  \nPhoto by Alina Grubnyak on Unsplash \n***Want to attend one of our events?

SUMMARY:Linda Onnasch (HU)\, “Effects of Anthropomorphism on Trust and Behavior in Work-Related HRI”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nAnthropomorphic robot features are intended to trigger the activation of social scripts from human-human interaction\, thereby offering an intuitive approach to interact with robots. Whereas this seems to be a valid design option for the social domain leading to an increased acceptance of robots\, trust and willingness to interact\, other domains of human-robot interaction (HRI) do not provide such a clear picture. In my talk I will address the impact of anthropomorphic robot design on trust and behavior in work-related settings and show the drawbacks of anthropomorphism when not considering the context of HRI and the task relevance of anthropomorphism.\n  \nPh. taken from HU website. \n

SUMMARY:Daniel M. Wolpert (Columbia University)\, “Contextual Inference Underlies the Learning of Sensorimotor Repertoires”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHumans spend a lifetime learning\, storing and refining a repertoire of motor memories. However\, it is unknown what principle underlies the way our continuous stream of sensorimotor experience is segmented into separate memories and how we adapt and use this growing repertoire. Here we develop a principled theory of motor learning based on the key insight that memory creation\, updating\, and expression are all controlled by a single computation – contextual inference. Unlike dominant theories of single-context learning\, our repertoire-learning model accounts for key features of motor learning that had no unified explanation and predicts novel phenomena\, which we confirm experimentally. These results suggest that contextual inference is the key principle underlying how a diverse set of experiences is reflected in motor behavior. \nThis event will take place on Zoom. \n  \nPhoto by afiq fatah on Unsplash \n

SUMMARY:MEET THE SCIENTIST at HU Labor With Martin Rolfs\, “Movement in the Eye of the Beholder. How Looking Shapes Visual Perception”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The eyes are the Marco Polo of the human body — they travel incessantly across the visual world in front of us\, curious for interesting or even insightful information. Tracking someone’s eye movements\, therefore\, provides insights into their perception and cognition — the eyes are indeed a window to the mind.\nThat eye movements are necessary for perception to occur in the first place was shown in experiments in the second half of the last century\, when scientists showed that preventing eye movements (e.g.\, through paralysis or by stabilizing an image on the retina) leads to the rapid fading of perception within a fraction of a second. \nThe Zoom Link will be sent the day before the lecture.

SUMMARY:Katharina Scheiter (University of Potsdam)\, “Multimodal Learning: Underlying Processes and How To Support Them”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:Theories of learning from multimodal sources (e.g.\, combinations of text and pictures\, aka multimedia) posit that in order to effectively learn from multimedia\, students need to select information from text and pictures\, organize the information in memory\, and most importantly\, integrate the information into one mental model. In the first part of my presentation\, I will focus on what is meant by text-picture integration by discussing results from empirical studies aimed at better understanding its underlying processes. In the second part of my presentation\, I will focus on ways to improve text-picture integration in educational settings through enhancing the design of the learning materials as well as nudging students into processing them more effectively. Eye tracking plays a major role in this research both as a research tool but also as an instructional tool to improve multimodal learning. \nPhoto by Element5 Digital on Unsplash \nThe Zoom Link will be sent the day before the lecture.

SUMMARY:Pawel Romanczuk\, “Modeling of Flocking &Amp; Swarming With Stochastic Agent-Based Models”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Collective behavior\, as exhibited by bird flocks\, fish schools or insect swarms\, is a fascinating example of self-organized behavior in biology. Mathematical models of flocking were key for the development of our current understanding on how complex complex group-level behaviors may emerge from simple local rules of interaction of close-by individuals. In this lecture I will provide a brief introduction into individual-based modeling of collective behavior from established so-called social force models to novel developments taking into account perceptual & cognitive constraints. \nThe Zoom Link will be sent the day before the lecture.

SUMMARY:Lange Nacht Der Wissenschaften 2022: Saccades – the Fastest Human Movement
DESCRIPTION:To perceive the world around us\, we constantly make rapid eye movements called saccades. Despite being the fastest and most frequent of all human movements\, we remain largely unaware of them. To observe this\, just try to detect your own saccades in the mirror. Using high-speed recording and presentation devices\, we can make your saccades and their visual consequences visible. Maybe you can even take a slow-motion video of one of your own saccades at home!

SUMMARY:Berlin4Ukraine\, a Networking Event for Exile Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Berlin4Ukraine: Meet & Learn. A networking event for exile researchers.\nPhD students and researchers from all academic disciplines that had to flee from war\, violence and political persecution frequently face similar problems: They want to continue their scientific work but are often unfamiliar with the German research landscape\, the academic system as well as the local funding culture. In many cases\, they have to rebuild their academic networks.\nThe Berlin4Ukraine-event aims to present basic information on the structures and key players of the German scientific system\, on the major resources available for refugee researchers and scholars at risk in particular\, as well as information on the German science funding system in general. In addition\, the event provides networking opportunities for researchers from Ukraine and from Berlin. Therefore\, the program contains informational talks and breakout sessions that allow networking. In addition\, relevant scientific institutions\, projects and organizations are present to give information and to answer questions.\n\n\n\nFor further details and updates: https://www.br50.org/en/br50/news/ukraine-event \nAlso on this topic: The TU supports Ukrainian students and researchers\nPhoto: © Susanne Cholodnicki.

SUMMARY:Nicolas Roth\, Aravind Battaje\, Adrian Sieler and Vincent Wall (Science of Intelligence)\, "Integration Hackathons for Behavior 1"
DESCRIPTION:A cornerstone of SCIoI are the three example behaviors that provide the motivation\, as well as the demonstration platforms to showcase the amazing research happening within the cluster. In order to get the ball rolling towards interesting example behaviors\, we have recently started regular “integration hackathon” meetings. They bring together people from different projects\, who identify achievable first integration steps\, and just start putting things together. \nIn this talk\, Nico from P1\, Aravind from P2\, and Adrian and Vincent from P17 will present this process. We will show the Behavior 1 escape room component that we selected for our first integration attempts\, explain which different research components come together to create the combined behavior\, and share some insights and observations we made along the way. In the end\, we hope to encourage everybody in SCIoI to think about integration steps and motivate people to get involved in the exciting\, rewarding (and necessary!) integration efforts for the example behaviors. \n
