                  <jats:p>This introduction sets the stage for the present book. Whereas research in eXplainable AI (XAI) is motivated by societal changes and values, technology development largely ignores social aspects. This book aims to address this research gap with a systematic and comprehensive social view on explainable AI. Besides introducing many relevant concepts, the book offers first access to their possible implementation, thus advancing the development of more social XAI. The introduction starts by connecting the topic to the general research field of XAI. The second part defines the novel approach of social eXplainable AI (sXAI) along the three characteristics of social interaction such as patternedness, incrementality, and multimodality. Finally, the third part explains the structure followed by each chapter. The book offers insights not only for readers who work on technology development but also for those working in sociotechnical fields. Addressing an interdisciplinary readership, the book is an invitation for more exchange and further development of the sXAI field.</jats:p>}},

                  <jats:p>We investigate whether the recently approved reforms of the apportionment of parliamentary seats to parties in the German Bundestag affects the parties’ political influence measured by power indices. We find that under neither reform the underlying simple game, which describes the possibilities to form governments, remains unchanged and as a result the Shapley-Shubik and the Banzhaf index are unaltered. As a consequence, the major change resulting from the reforms is the reduction of the Bundestag’s size to 630 seats.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) can enable photon-number resolution (PNR) based on accurate measurements of the detector’s response time to few-photon optical pulses. In this work, we investigate the impact of the optical pulse shape and duration on the accuracy of this method. We find that Gaussian temporal pulse shapes yield cleaner arrival-time histograms and, thus, more accurate PNR, compared to bandpass-filtered pulses of equal bandwidth. For low system jitter and an optical pulse duration comparable to the other jitter contributions, photon numbers can be discriminated in our system with a commercial SNSPD. At 60 ps optical pulse duration, photon-number discrimination is significantly reduced. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of using the correct arrival-time histogram model when analyzing photon-number assignment. Using exponentially modified Gaussian distributions, instead of the commonly used Gaussian distributions, we can more accurately determine photon-number misidentification probabilities. Finally, we reconstruct the positive operator-valued measures of the detector, revealing sharp features that indicate the intrinsic PNR capabilities.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{Large intermediate results can cause join queries to run unexpectedly long. This problem is particularly common for analytical queries, which aggregate data over many tables to produce a comparatively small final output, and queries on graph data, where intermediate results blow up quickly. Recent work inspired by Yannakakis’ algorithm approaches this by modifying the query engine to avoid materializing unnecessary tuples. However, this requires significant changes to the core of the system, which is not feasible in many situations such as cloud environments or proprietary systems.
In this work, we propose a flexible approach for optimizing long-running join queries from the outside of the DBMS. Rewriting-based realizations of Yannakakis’ algorithm suffer from inherent overhead due to the creation of intermediate tables. Thus, we present an approach for detecting and targeting queries which would benefit from a Yannakakis-style optimization. We introduce a new benchmark combining 5 standard benchmarks and augmenting them with additional instances, which provides a sufficient size and diversity for a machine learning based solution. On PostgreSQL, DuckDB and SparkSQL, slowdowns on queries where the rewriting is counterproductive are mostly avoided, as opposed to a naïve application of the rewriting, and we observe significant improvements in end-to-end runtimes over standard query execution and unconditional rewriting.}},

  abstract     = {{The governance of emerging technologies with increased autonomy in the military has become a topical issue in recent years, especially considering the rapid advances in artificial intelligence and related innovations in computer science. Despite this hype, the postcolonial subject’s position has been seen as secondary, often associated with victimhood or obscurity. By shifting the narrative to highlight the postcolonial subject’s agency—not only in providing real-world examples of artificial intelligence use in the military but also in knowledge creation and shaping the discourse on governance within the international, this paper contributes to an area of research that is often overlooked. The paper unpacks the norm-making efforts of postcolonial subjects regarding emerging military technologies. In doing this, the paper aims to advance postcolonial theory by showing how the dynamics of governing emerging military technologies intertwine with postcolonial subjectivity and to broaden the academic discussion on the governance of emerging military technologies and algorithmic violence, which has so far been dominated by Western or universalistic discourse.}},
