I am very happy to announce that we have a paper accepted at ACL 2024 in the main conference.
The paper is titled Limits of Theory of Mind Modelling in Dialogue-Based Collaborative Plan Acquisition and explores a recent issue in Theory of Mind modelling in which deep learning models learn to take shortcuts instead of modeling mental stats correctly:

This is a great success and I want to espescially congratulate the first author, Matteo, for his incredible work!
Thanks to all my co-authors!
Happy to announce that I will attend the ELLIS summer school on Collaborative and Generative AI (CoGenAI) 2024 at Aalto University in Finland.

Matteo Bortoletto, Anna Penzkofer and I are organizing a practical course on Computational Theory of Mind and Cognition for master students in computing fields at the University of Stuttgart.
The goal of this course is to familiarise students with exciting current research topics at the intersection of machine learning, computational cognitive modelling, and human-computer interaction.
We place a special emphasis on modelling core processes of human cognition in computing systems, i.e. we place an emphasis on Machine Theory of Mind.
Techniques used by students in their projects include Multi-Modal Deep Learning, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and biologically plausible learning methods like Spiking Neural Networks.
The course is an advanced master-level one that requires previous experience with deep learning and related fields to enable students to engange with ongoing research in the field of computational human modelling.
I am pleased to announce that I am part of a paper that was recently accepted at ETRA 2024 which will be published in the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM HCI).
The paper is titled VisRecall++: Analysing and Predicting Visualisation Recallability from Gaze Bahaviour:

I am truly honored to announce that my master’s thesis, entitled ‘Into the Minds of the Chefs: Using Theory of Mind for Robust Collaboration with Humans in Overcooked’, was awarded the 2023 Rul Gunzenhäuser Award.
The award is given to the best Master’s thesis at the Institute for Visualisation and Interactive Systems, Stuttgart University in the respective academic year.
