Research Project: SKILL

The Social Science AI Lab for Research-Based Learning (SKILL) is a research and teaching project jointly carried out by the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) and the Centre for Teaching and Learning (ZLL) at the European University Viadrina as well as the research units Web Technology and Information Systems (Webis) and Virtual Reality and Visualization Research at the Bauhaus University Weimar. Together with students, it is building the currently largest annotated text corpus in the field of international relations theory for feeding an AI-based argument search engine. It also develops a visualisation technology of argumentative structures and innovative didactic concepts for the use of AI in higher education.
