During lecture time, we have our Lunchtime Seminar each Tuesday from 12.15-12.45. During this seminars, researchers of the Department or invited guest provide us with insights into their research.

Datesort ascending Title Abstract
26.10.2021 Watch Me Get Better! – Algorithm Aversion and Demonstrating the Ability to Learn

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Benedikt Berger, Department of Information Systems, the University of Münster, Germany.

 

Talk abstract: Owing to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and specifically in machine learning, information technology (IT) systems can support humans in an increasing number of tasks. Yet, previous research indicates that people often prefer support by a human to support by an IT system, even if the latter provides superior... more

19.10.2021 Augmenting the algorithm: Emerging human-in-the-loop work configurations

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Margunn Aanestad, Department of Information Systems, University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway.


Abstract: How do configurations of humans and algorithms evolve as firms adopt artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and what are the implications for work and organization? We explored these questions through a two-year long case study of an organization in the international maritime... more

12.10.2021 Cognitive diagram understanding and task performance in system analysis and design

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Jan Mendling, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany.





Abstract: Conceptual models play an important role in system analysis and design (SAD). In this talk, we approach diagrams in SAD from a holistic perspective. We establish the SAD process as a context for diagram usage and highlight the information needs of complex tasks. Second, we discuss in how far cognitive processing of diagrams is different... more

13.07.2021 NAO says hello!

Pedagogical conversational agents (CA) support formal and informal learning to help students achieve better learning outcomes by providing information, guidance or fostering reflections. Even though the extant literature suggests that pedagogical CAs can improve learning outcomes, there exists no empirical evidence of what design features drive this effect. We will briefly report on a study we conducted in this field. Furthermore, we will provide a short demonstration of a quiz... more

06.07.2021 Behavioural insurance in the German Automotive Market

The automotive insurance market is undergoing fundamental changes with the advent of novel Insurance Technology (InsurTec), mobility initiatives such as autonomous vehicles, car sharing and subscription models for new cars, and the emergence of new forms of insurance such as short-term cover, pay per use and advanced analytics, which can encourage drivers to improve their driving behaviour. The traditional forms of insurance and information exchange are being augmented or replaced by... more

29.06.2021 Biometric recognition, principles and privacy protection

The biometric comparator is the core engine of most biometric recognition systems. Its current realisations are predominantly based on machine learning. In the talk I will first review the underlying principles, which differ from those of standard machine-learning based classification, and their relation to statistical optimality. Next, I will address various security and privacy risks of the storage and processing of biometric data and discuss proposed privacy enhancing solutions.

22.06.2021 Complexity-based Selection of Production Planning and Control Architectures

While research discussing and determining the need for autonomy in production systems exists, no publications focus on the architectural perspective so far. Heterarchical production planning and control architectures are only needed, when hierarchical architectures have troubles handling the underlying system complexity. Here, literature however does not depict the interactions between a growing system complexity and the computational complexity of the related... more

15.06.2021 Science Communication in Digital Information Environments

The talk provides an overview of current trends and research fields in science communication research and how science communication has changed in digital media environments. It will deal with the benefits for and challenges of science communication online and will outline the frameworks for analysis.


08.06.2021 Digital Risk Society

The rise of the digital society is accompanied by incalculable social risks, but very little IS research has examined the implications of the new digital society. Drawing on concepts from Beck’s critical theory of the risk society and critical discourse analysis, this study examines the public discourse on risk events during the launch of NemID, a personal digital identifier for Danish citizens.

01.06.2021 RISE_SMA - Social Media Analytics for Society and Crisis Communication

In this talk, Stefan shares insights about the EU project "RISE_SMA - Social Media Analytics for Society and Crisis Communication". The project involves ERCIS partners from Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and Australia.
