Specifically, ARTIC3D is built upon a skeleton-based surface representation and is further guided by 2D diffusion priors from Stable Diffusion. First, we enhance the input images with occlusions/truncation via 2D diffusion to obtain cleaner mask estimates and semantic features.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate user-tailored summaries, adapting outputs to specific stakeholders. In legal contexts, this raises important questions about motivated reasoning -- how models strategically frame information to align with a stakeholder's position within the legal system. Building on theories of legal realism and recent trends in legal practice, we investigate how LLMs respond to prompts conditioned on different legal roles (e.g., judges, prosecutors, attorneys) when summarizing judicial decisions. We introduce an evaluation framework grounded in legal fact and reasoning inclusion, also considering favorability towards stakeholders. Our results show that even when prompts include balancing instructions, models exhibit selective inclusion patterns that reflect role-consistent perspectives. These findings raise broader concerns about how similar alignment may emerge as LLMs begin to infer user roles from prior interactions or context, even without explicit role instructions. Our results underscore the need for role-aware evaluation of LLM summarization behavior in high-stakes legal settings.

F\"ur eine fr\"uhzeitige Erkennung von Lieferengp\"assen m\"ussen Lieferketten in einer geeigneten digitalen Form vorliegen, damit sie verarbeitet werden k\"onnen. Der f\"ur die Datenmodellierung ben\"otigte Arbeitsaufwand ist jedoch, gerade IT-fremden Personen, nicht zuzumuten. Es wurde deshalb im Rahmen dieser Arbeit eine Webanwendung entwickelt, welche die zugrunde liegende Komplexit\"at f\"ur den Benutzer verschleiern soll. Konkret handelt es sich dabei um eine grafische Benutzeroberfl\"ache, auf welcher Templates instanziiert und miteinander verkn\"upft werden k\"onnen. F\"ur die Definition dieser Templates wurden in dieser Arbeit geeignete Konzepte erarbeitet und erweitert. Zur Erhebung der Benutzerfreundlichkeit der Webanwendung wurde abschlie{\ss}end eine Nutzerstudie mit mehreren Testpersonen durchgef\"uhrt. Diese legte eine Vielzahl von n\"utzlichen Verbesserungsvorschl\"agen offen. -- For early detection of supply bottlenecks, supply chains must be available in a suitable digital form so that they can be processed. However, the amount of work required for data modeling cannot be expected of people who are not familiar with IT topics. Therefore, a web application was developed in the context of this thesis, which is supposed to disguise the underlying complexity for the user. Specifically, this is a graphical user interface on which templates can be instantiated and linked to each other. Suitable concepts for the definition of these templates were developed and extended in this thesis. Finally, a user study with several test persons was conducted to determine the usability of the web application. This revealed a large number of useful suggestions for improvement.

(English) This study examines the AI-powered grading tool "AI Grading Assistant" by the German company Fobizz, designed to support teachers in evaluating and providing feedback on student assignments. Against the societal backdrop of an overburdened education system and rising expectations for artificial intelligence as a solution to these challenges, the investigation evaluates the tool's functional suitability through two test series. The results reveal significant shortcomings: The tool's numerical grades and qualitative feedback are often random and do not improve even when its suggestions are incorporated. The highest ratings are achievable only with texts generated by ChatGPT. False claims and nonsensical submissions frequently go undetected, while the implementation of some grading criteria is unreliable and opaque. Since these deficiencies stem from the inherent limitations of large language models (LLMs), fundamental improvements to this or similar tools are not immediately foreseeable. The study critiques the broader trend of adopting AI as a quick fix for systemic problems in education, concluding that Fobizz's marketing of the tool as an objective and time-saving solution is misleading and irresponsible. Finally, the study calls for systematic evaluation and subject-specific pedagogical scrutiny of the use of AI tools in educational contexts.

By means of pilot experiments for the language pair German and Galician, this paper examines the concept of efficiency and intelligence in lexicography and artificial intelligence, AI. The aim of the experiments is to gain empirically and statistically based insights into the lexicographical text type,dictionary article, in the responses of ChatGPT 3.5, as well as into the lexicographical data on which this chatbot was trained. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used for this purpose. The analysis is based on the evaluation of the outputs of several sessions with the same prompt in ChatGPT 3.5. On the one hand, the algorithmic performance of intelligent systems is evaluated in comparison with data from lexicographical works. On the other hand, the ChatGPT data supplied is analysed using specific text passages of the aforementioned lexicographical text type. The results of this study not only help to evaluate the efficiency of this chatbot regarding the creation of dictionary articles, but also to delve deeper into the concept of intelligence, the thought processes and the actions to be carried out in both disciplines.

The multilingual dictionary of noun valency Portlex is considered to be the trigger for the creation of the automatic language generators Xera and Combinatoria, whose development and use is presented in this paper. Both prototypes are used for the automatic generation of nominal phrases with their mono- and bi-argumental valence slots, which could be used, among others, as dictionary examples or as integrated components of future autonomous E-Learning-Tools. As samples for new types of automatic valency dictionaries including user interaction, we consider the language generators as we know them today. In the specific methodological procedure for the development of the language generators, the syntactic-semantic description of the noun slots turns out to be the main focus from a syntagmatic and paradigmatic point of view. Along with factors such as representativeness, grammatical correctness, semantic coherence, frequency and the variety of lexical candidates, as well as semantic classes and argument structures, which are fixed components of both resources, a concept of a multi-sided prototype stands out. The combined application of this prototype concept as well as of word embeddings together with techniques from the field of automatic natural language processing and generation (NLP and NLG) opens up a new way for the future development of automatically generated plurilingual valency dictionaries. All things considered, the paper depicts the language generators both from the point of view of their development as well as from that of the users. The focus lies on the role of the prototype concept within the development of the resources.

Distillation-aware Neural Architecture Search (DaNAS) aims to search for an optimal student architecture that obtains the best performance and/or efficiency when distilling the knowledge from a given teacher model. Previous DaNAS methods have mostly tackled the search for the neural architecture for fixed datasets and the teacher, which are not generalized well on a new task consisting of an unseen dataset and an unseen teacher, thus need to perform a costly search for any new combination of the datasets and the teachers. For standard NAS tasks without KD, meta-learning-based computationally efficient NAS methods have been proposed, which learn the generalized search process over multiple tasks (datasets) and transfer the knowledge obtained over those tasks to a new task. However, since they assume learning from scratch without KD from a teacher, they might not be ideal for DaNAS scenarios. To eliminate the excessive computational cost of DaNAS methods and the sub-optimality of rapid NAS methods, we propose a distillation-aware meta accuracy prediction model, DaSS (Distillation-aware Student Search), which can predict a given architecture's final performances on a dataset when performing KD with a given teacher, without having actually to train it on the target task. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed meta-prediction model successfully generalizes to multiple unseen datasets for DaNAS tasks, largely outperforming existing meta-NAS methods and rapid NAS baselines. Code is available at https://github.com/CownowAn/DaSS. Distillation-aware Neural Architecture Search (DaNAS) aims to search for an optimal student architecture that obtains the best performance and efficiency on a given dataset when distilling the knowledge from the given teacher to it (Liu et al., 2020; Gu & Tresp, 2020; Kim et al., 2022). For the DaNAS task, we need to design a framework that considers the effect of Knowledge Distillation (KD), yet, conventional NAS frameworks may be sub-optimal as they do not consider KD components at all by searching for an architecture according to its evaluations trained from scratch. As explained in Liu et al. (2020), the sub-optimality of conventional NAS methods on DaNAS tasks results from: 1) For the same target dataset, an optimal student architecture for distilling the knowledge from the teacher and an optimal student architecture for learning from scratch with only ground-truth labels may be different.

The complexity and increasingly tight coupling of supply chains poses a major logistical challenge for leading companies. Another challenge is that leading companies -- under pressure from consumers, a critical public and legislative measures such as supply chain laws -- have to take more responsibility than before for their suppliers' labour standards. In this paper, we discuss a new approach that leading companies are using to try to address these challenges: algorithmic prediction of business risks, but also environmental and social risks. We describe the technical and cultural conditions for algorithmic prediction and explain how -- from the perspective of leading companies -- it helps to address both challenges. We then develop scenarios on how and with what kind of social consequences algorithmic prediction can be used by leading companies. From the scenarios, we derive policy options for different stakeholder groups to help develop algorithmic prediction towards improving labour standards and worker voice. -- Die Komplexit\"at und zunehmend enge Kopplung vieler Lieferketten stellt eine gro{\ss}e logistische Herausforderung f\"ur Leitunternehmen dar. Eine weitere Herausforderung besteht darin, dass Leitunternehmen -- gedr\"angt durch Konsument:innen, eine kritische \"Offentlichkeit und gesetzgeberische Ma{\ss}nahmen wie die Lieferkettengesetze -- st\"arker als bisher Verantwortung f\"ur Arbeitsstandards in ihren Zulieferbetrieben \"ubernehmen m\"ussen. In diesem Beitrag diskutieren wir einen neuen Ansatz, mit dem Leitunternehmen versuchen, diese Herausforderungen zu bearbeiten: die algorithmische Vorhersage von betriebswirtschaftlichen, aber auch \"okologischen und sozialen Risiken. Wir beschreiben die technischen und kulturellen Bedingungen f\"ur algorithmische Vorhersage und erkl\"aren, wie diese -- aus Perspektive von Leitunternehmen -- bei der Bearbeitung beider Herausforderungen hilft. Anschlie{\ss}end entwickeln wir Szenarien, wie und mit welchen sozialen Konsequenzen algorithmische Vorhersage durch Leitunternehmen eingesetzt werden kann. Aus den Szenarien leiten wir Handlungsoptionen f\"ur verschiedene Stakeholder-Gruppen ab, die dabei helfen sollen, algorithmische Vorhersage im Sinne einer Verbesserung von Arbeitsstandards und Workers' Voice weiterzuentwickeln.

Developing applicable clinical machine learning models is a difficult task when the data includes spatial information, for example, radiation dose distributions across adjacent organs at risk. We describe the co-design of a modeling system, DASS, to support the hybrid human-machine development and validation of predictive models for estimating long-term toxicities related to radiotherapy doses in head and neck cancer patients. Developed in collaboration with domain experts in oncology and data mining, DASS incorporates human-in-the-loop visual steering, spatial data, and explainable AI to augment domain knowledge with automatic data mining. We demonstrate DASS with the development of two practical clinical stratification models and report feedback from domain experts. Finally, we describe the design lessons learned from this collaborative experience.
