Tutorial on system promp engineering by Christopher Lazik and Yannick Weiß at #Winterschool2026. A hands on session using LM Studio and “playing against each other” - fun group work, high motivation and interesting insights (see images for details)
Can you run meaningful AI stuff on a ESP32? LMM on a raspberry pi? PI AI hat+ or Jetson Nano? Philipp Thalhammer and Boris Kegeles showed some devices and hardware (with demos :) and we got to do a hands on exercise… for the source code see github.com/Phlipinator/... #winterschool2026
What do you expect from your supervisor? What is a success PhD? What do I as supervisor expect from my students? When is a PhD ready? We collected, discussed, consolidated in groups and looked to identify potential mismatches, alignments, and conflicts. So many interesting point #winterschool2026
Jan Leusmann kicked off the second part of #winterschool. Jasmin Niess discussed how we can engage with theory and advance the HCI foundations. What is theory-based research in HCI? It is really important to reflect that HCI has a plurality of approaches in theory research. #winterschool2026
Mentoring is essential to academic live! Jasmin Niess is running our #winterschool2026 mentoring session - especially focusing on how we find mentors, can you benefit from mentoring and how you can be a good mentor. Mentoring newer stops… you never grow out of needing a mentor
Matthias Schmidmaier started the day at #Winterschool2026 off with “Realtime Interaction with Intelligent Agents in User Research”. Was interesting to see how to implement a conversational agend with current AI tools. Lots on discussion on implications of using conversational agends in HCI research.
Reinforcement learning for interactive systems. Sven Mayer started with an overview (eg Atari, AlphaGo). Highlighting challenges, he walked us through a pong example. Good discussions on reward predictions and credit assignment problem in real applications
