EXC 277: Cognitive Interaction Technology

为了增强对复杂技术系统的掌控，达到人类交流的轻松和自然，我们需要什么？我们如何才能赋予技术设备必要的认知能力，以支持人类在高水平的语义交互中，通过适应性、自组织和学习提供真正的灵活性？为了解决这些问题，卓越的集群集中了计算机科学家，心理学家，语言学家和生物学家的努力，建立认知界面，通过提供语义交互水平来促进复杂技术系统的使用。这将结合跨学科，基础和应用研究，超越人工智能的经典限制，旨在全面了解认知交互的过程和功能成分，它们在技术系统中的复制，以及为这些系统开发评估方法和工具包。

What do we need in order to enhance the command of complex technical systems and reach the ease and naturalness of human communication? How can we endow technical devices with the necessary cognitive abilities to support humans at a high level of semantic interaction, offering true flexibility by virtue of adaptivity, self-organisation and learning? In order to solve these questions, the cluster of excellence is focusing the efforts of computer scientists, psychologists, linguists and biologists on the goal of establishing cognitive interfaces that facilitate the use of complex technical systems by providing for a level of semantic interaction. This will combine interdisciplinary, basic and applied research and going beyond the classical confines of artificial intelligence and aiming at a thorough understanding of the processes and functional constituents of cognitive interaction, their replication in technical systems, and the development of evaluation methodologies and tool kits for such systems.
