How can technical systems be used to combat #SocialBots? A project headed by Prof. Dr. Philipp Cimiano @CITEC_Bielefeld and funded by @VolkswagenSt is focusing on this topic. https://t.co/3m7uT0WsSL

A CITEC team won the finals of Microsoft's multi-agent reinforcement learning challenge. The team created the most successful algorithm for an artificial intelligence (AI) computer agent for a #Minecraft competition. @MSFTResearch https://t.co/XNjAoYlJsz

[Microsoft Research @MSFTResearch]

The results are in! Microsoft Research, @QMUL and @crowd_ai challenged programmers to tackle multi-agent reinforcement learning in the digital world of Minecraft. Participants responded with the well-established, the new, and the novel: https://t.co/OuH71AJAPa

Stereotypes and prejudices are not only expressed towards human beings, but also towards robots, says @CITEC_Bielefeld researcher Jasmin Bernotat. In her dissertation project she studies the effects of stereotypes on humans and robots. https://t.co/OIRxEsC0aN

How can children learn with a robot, and how can robots learn from children? This is what @CITEC_Bielefeld researcher Dr. Laura Hoffmann is exploring in two of her research projects. https://t.co/gqS5HwaqyY @ag_scs

The feeling of being stared at by a picture is called the "Mona Lisa effect". Researchers @citec_bielefeld have discovered, however, that this effect does not actually occur when looking at the world famous painting for which it is named. https://t.co/yO72z6RAE7

At companies and offices with open floor plans, how can what is said be protected from others hearing it? A technical solution for this is being developed by researchers at CITEC, together with employees from the Responsive Acoustics company. @BMWi_Bund https://t.co/h5IUUuD1Lz

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Prinz, member of the @CITEC_Bielefeld Advisory Board and a pioneering researcher in #cognition, will be awarded an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Psychology and Sports Science at @unibielefeld. Congratulations! @maxplanckpress https://t.co/Y4EmLEX9Ec

Sound source localization is a component of #hearing that is difficult to examine with conventional hearing tests. Researchers from CITEC have developed a system that tests spatial hearing in a natural hearing situation, and can later be used for training. https://t.co/eeaNaiyYJQ

How a robot reacts to different languages: @CITEC_Bielefeld researcher Marietta Sionti studies to what extent commands can be adapted to multiple languages. https://t.co/wcDRBUH4Gm
