Lecturer: Ralf Möller
Fields: Artificial Intelligence
Content
In the course we develop notions of human-compatibility in mechanisms in which humans and artificial agents interact (social mechanisms). Properties of social mechanisms are investigated in terms of AI alignment in general and assistance games in particular. Modeling formalisms needed to realise human-aligned agents are introduced.

Lecturer
Ralf Möller is Full Professor of Artificial Intelligence in Humanities and heads the Institute of Humanities-Centered AI (CHAI) at the Universität Hamburg. His main research area is artificial intelligence, in particular probabilistic relational modeling techniques and natural language technologies for information systems as well as machine learning and data mining for decision making of agents in social mechanisms. Ralf Möller is co-speaker of the Section for Artificial Intelligence of the German Informatics Society. He is also an affiliated professor at DFKI zu Lübeck, a branch of Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligence with several sites in Germany. DFKI is responsible for technology transfer of AI research results into industry and society. Before joining the Universität Hamburg in 2024, Ralf Möller was Full Professor for Computer Science and headed the Institute of Information Systems at Universität zu Lübeck. In Lübeck he was also the head of the research department Stochastic Relational AI in Heathcare at DFKI. In his earlier carrier, Ralf Möller also was Associate Professor for Computer Science at Hamburg University of Technology from 2003 to 2014. From 2001 to 2003 he was Professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Wedel/Germany. In 1996 he received the degree Dr. rer. nat. from the University of Hamburg and successfully submitted his Habilitation thesis in 2001 also at the University of Hamburg. Professor Möller was co-organizer of several national and international workshops on humanities-centered AI as well as on description logics. He also was co-organizer of the European Lisp Symposium 2011. In 2019, he co-chaired the organization of the International Conference on Big Knowledge ICBK19 in Beijing, and he is co-organizing the conference “Artificial Intelligence” KI2021 in Berlin with colleagues Stefan Edelkamp and Elmar Rueckert. Prof. Möller was an Associate Editor for the Journal of Knowledge and Information Systems, member of the Editorial Board of the Journal on Big Data Research, as well as Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet Reviewer.
