Tom Sühr
Tom Sühr is a doctoral candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in the Human Aspects of Machine Learning group led by Samira Samadi. He completed his Msc. in Information Systems Management at TU Berlin while being a research assistant at Harvard Business School. He is currently working on research projects with Harvard University and the University of Tübingen. During his undergraduate studies he was a research intern at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems advised by Krishna Gummadi and Asia Biega as well as a student researcher at the chair of complex distributed systems (CIT) advised by Meike Zehlike and Carlos Castillo. He is broadly interested in machine learning and human-AI collaboration.
Currently thinking about
- Strategic Deployment of ML
- Dynamic systems of humans and AI
- Dynamics of ML driven (multi-sided) platforms
- Latent traits of large language models
- Performative prediction
- Human-AI collaboration with label noise
- Human-AI collaboration with unidentifiable ground truth
- Decision-making for ML deployment/training
- Measurement theory for benchmarks
- Psychometrics/latent variable modelling for AI
- Item response theory and test theory for benchmarks
News
- I will be a TA for the course “The science of machine learning benchmarks and evaluation” (ML4331) instructed by Moritz Hardt at the University of Tübingen this winter semester.
- New preprint “A Dynamic Model of Performative Human-ML Collaboration: Theory and Empirical Evidence” available on arxiv and here. This was joint work with my advisor Samira Samadi and my co-advisor Chiara Farronato.
- New preprint “Challenging the Validity of Personality Tests for LLMs“available on arxiv and here. This was joint work with Florian Dorner, Samira Samadi and Augustin Kelava.
- I updated the arxiv version of our workshop paper “Do personality Tests generalize to Large Language Models?” with the extended full paper version. You can still download the workshop paper version here.
- I started a “News” section 😉
Info for Undergrad/MA students
If you would like to write a thesis or student paper with me, please send an email to tom.suehr@tuebingen.mpg.de with some information about your areas of interest and the rough time you would like to work on the project (e.g. Juli-November).
Office hours for ML4331: write me for an appointment.
