Students acquire advanced application-related knowledge of technical methods from the areas of recognition, processing, learning or generation of interactive behavior in artificial agents in this module. After completing the module, students can develop interactive social agents, implement multimodal behavior and develop interactive systems. Furthermore, students will be able to evaluate interactive systems in human-machine interaction studies. They are able to analyze human behavior (verbal and non-verbal) automatically and, based on these analyses, develop interactive agents that are used, for example, in assistance systems, in human-machine collaboration, etc. In the first part of the module, applied methodological knowledge on one of the topics of interaction technology is acquired and practiced in accompanying exercises. These methods are practically deepened in two applied seminars or a project in the second module part. For this purpose, students will have acquired both methodological knowledge and the competence of independent practical examination of a topic (research, evaluation, implementation, oral presentation, and written discussion)
The module provides practical knowledge on the design, realization, and evaluation of interactive human-machine systems. The teaching content of the module includes practically applied courses e.g. in the areas of brain-machine interfaces, social and collaborative robotics, intelligent assistance systems, dialogue systems, and conversational agents, natural language processing, multimodal behavior processing, explainable AI, dialogue theories, cognitive mechanisms of social interaction. The courses chosen by the student determine the specific teaching content of the module. The choice of the designated courses is based on personal interest.

The following combinations of courses are permitted:
Depending on the chosen option, a course achievement must be completed in the Seminar 2 OR the Project.
Regardless of the option chosen, one graded (partial examination 1) and one ungraded (partial examination 2) examination must be completed. The type of examination depends on the chosen option.
Reasoning of necessity of two partial examinations:
two partial examinations are necessary since the theoretical and mathematical competencies are tested in the written/oral examination and practical and methodological knowledge in the project/second seminar.

Partial Examination 1: (Lecture + Exercise) OR (Seminar + Exercise)
Portfolio with final examination consisting of:
1) Portfolio of exercises related to the content of the lecture or seminar
Exercise tasks or programming tasks that are assigned in relation to the course (passing threshold: 50% of the achievable points). The assessment of the exercise tasks also includes direct questions regarding the solutions that must be answered by the students during the exercises. The instructor may require an individual explanation and demonstration of tasks and can replace a portion of the exercise tasks with in-person exercises. The exercise tasks within the portfolio are generally assigned weekly and serve to support the independent learning of implementations of the content presented in the lecture.
2) A final examination for the lecture
The final examination regarding the content of the lecture refers to the exercise or programming tasks or develops from the competencies learned in the exercises. Further specification, particularly regarding the time frame of the final examination, will be provided in the course description.
Lecture: Final exam (lasting 90-120 minutes) or oral final examination (lasting 20-30 minutes) covering the content conveyed in the lecture and developed in the exercises.
The exam can alternatively be conducted as an e-exam, open book exam, or e-open book exam. In the case of open book and e-open book exams, the duration is 120-150 minutes.
OR
2) A final examination for the seminar
The final examination regarding the content of the seminar refers to the exercise or programming tasks or develops from the competencies learned in the exercises.
Seminar: Presentation (lasting 30–40 minutes) with written report (10-15 pages)
The students present, after coordinating the specific task with the examiner, the significance and systematic-scientific classification of a problem addressed in the seminar and explain and present their topic in writing in their report, incorporating aspects from the discussion in the seminar. The task may also include the elaboration of an application (i.e., programming/calculation, etc.) of a method to a typically practically significant individual case. The presentation with report refers to the content conveyed in the seminar and developed in the exercises.
Both portfolio elements will be assessed by an examiner. A final overall assessment will be provided.
Partial Examination 2: (practical Seminar 1 + practical Seminar 2)
Presentation (lasting 30–40 minutes) with written report (10-15 pages)
The students present, after coordinating the specific task with the examiner, the significance and systematic-scientific classification of a problem addressed in the seminar and explain and present their topic in writing in their report, incorporating aspects from the discussion in the seminar. The task may also include the elaboration of an application (i.e., programming/calculation, etc.) of a method to a typically practically significant individual case. The presentation with report refers to the content conveyed in the seminar.
