  abstract     = {{Automated Algorithm Configuration (AAC) usually takes a global perspective: it identifies a parameter configuration for an (optimization) algorithm that maximizes a performance metric over a set of instances. However, the optimal choice of parameters strongly depends on the instance at hand and should thus be calculated on a per-instance basis. We explore the potential of Per-Instance Algorithm Configuration (PIAC) by using Reinforcement Learning (RL). To this end, we propose a novel PIAC approach that is based on deep neural networks. We apply it to predict configurations for the Lin\textendash Kernighan heuristic (LKH) for the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) individually for every single instance. To train our PIAC approach, we create a large set of 100000 TSP instances with 2000 nodes each \textemdash currently the largest benchmark set to the best of our knowledge. We compare our approach to the state-of-the-art AAC method Sequential Model-based Algorithm Configuration (SMAC). The results show that our PIAC approach outperforms this baseline on both the newly created instance set and established instance sets.}},

  abstract     = {{We live in times of deep crisis. General crises of society often are accompanied by ideological struggles. Given this context, it is important that social theory reinvigorates the analysis of ideology. For doing so, it makes sense to engage with classical theories of ideology. This paper contributes to this task. It asks: How are the economic and the non-economic related? What is ideology? This article deals with the base/superstructure problem and the problem of ideology via an engagement with selected aspects of Stuart Hall’s, Georg Lukács’s and Raymond Williams’s works. The commonality of Hall’s, Lukács’s and Williams’s thoughts that makes a joint engagement with their works feasible is that they all three dealt with aspects of culture from a critical theory perspective and are in one way or another representatives of Cultural Marxism. While Lukács’s works and Cultural Studies are often presented as conflicting approaches, this paper shows that concerning the question of how the economic and the non-economic are related and how we can think of ideology, the approaches of Lukács, Williams, and Hall complement each other, which allows critical theories of culture to draw on all three approaches and to combine elements from them in a synergistic manner. There are parallels between Williams’, Hall’s, and Lukács’s solutions to the base/superstructure problem. Williams argues that the economic exerts pressures on and sets limits to the non-economic. Hall writes that the economic determines the non-economic in the first instance. Lukács argues that the economic circumscribes subjectivity and the non-economic.}},

  abstract     = {{Explainability has become an important topic in computer science and
artificial intelligence, leading to a subfield called Explainable Artificial
Intelligence (XAI). The goal of providing or seeking explanations is to achieve
(better) 'understanding' on the part of the explainee. However, what it means
to 'understand' is still not clearly defined, and the concept itself is rarely
the subject of scientific investigation. This conceptual article aims to
present a model of forms of understanding in the context of XAI and beyond.
From an interdisciplinary perspective bringing together computer science,
linguistics, sociology, and psychology, a definition of understanding and its
forms, assessment, and dynamics during the process of giving everyday
explanations are explored. Two types of understanding are considered as
possible outcomes of explanations, namely enabledness, 'knowing how' to do or
decide something, and comprehension, 'knowing that' -- both in different
degrees (from shallow to deep). Explanations regularly start with shallow
understanding in a specific domain and can lead to deep comprehension and
enabledness of the explanandum, which we see as a prerequisite for human users
to gain agency. In this process, the increase of comprehension and enabledness
are highly interdependent. Against the background of this systematization,
special challenges of understanding in XAI are discussed.}},

  abstract     = {{Humans have developed the capability to teach relevant aspects of new or
adapted tasks to a social peer with very few task demonstrations by making use
of scaffolding strategies that leverage prior knowledge and importantly prior
joint experience to yield a joint understanding and a joint execution of the
required steps to solve the task. This process has been discovered and analyzed
in parent-infant interaction and constitutes a ``co-construction'' as it allows
both, the teacher and the learner, to jointly contribute to the task. We
propose to focus research in robot interactive learning on this co-construction
process to enable robots to learn from non-expert users in everyday situations.
In the following, we will review current proposals for interactive task
learning and discuss their main contributions with respect to the entailing
interaction. We then discuss our notion of co-construction and summarize
research insights from adult-child and human-robot interactions to elucidate
its nature in more detail. From this overview we finally derive research
desiderata that entail the dimensions architecture, representation, interaction
and explainability.}},
