Attend a great talk by Elizabeth Tipton titled “Developing Trustworthy Evidence: From Science to Policymaking,” highlighting how we need to conduct good generalizable research but also to conduct practical and meaningful research that can help others making decisions. @rctrust.bsky.social

Final preparations are on the way for #mobileHCI2025 in Sharm El Sheikh! @svenmayer.bsky.social

Matthias Schmidmaier presented his work on Empathic AI and how to support users. With his PETS scale (perceived-empathy-of-technology-scale.com) he now investigates how to improve the empathy of LLM-based conversational agents by understanding and proactively reacting to the user states.

After becoming a Doctor of Computer Science recently, @florianbe.bsky.social is off to new endeavors in research. Connecting communication science and human-computer interaction to foster social impact in a world where trust in general information, news, and journalism might be at its lowest.

Today Khanh Huynh presented her vision of her PhD – a Multimodal LLM-bases conversational passenger that understand the driver and can support driving and non-driving relates activities in the car. I’m looking forward to see where her vision takes her in the next 3 years. @mimuc.bsky.social

The LMU media informatics doctoral colloquium comes to an end with lots of inspirations and new ideas to go forward! Thanks to DFKI for hosting us. Discussing in depth with our researchers always makes me optimistic about the future - with regard to science and society :) @mimuc.bsky.social

Antonio Krüger’s Keynote „Towards Environmental-Aware and Trustworthy AI“ at our doctoral colloquium we do in Saarbrücken at &DFKI (German research center for AI). Seeing research at DFKI is amazing. Interesting aspect of trust - of humans in AI but also between machines @mimuc
