My lecture is supported by a heiSKILLS Fellowships “AI in Teaching”. Students will have free access to a state-of-the-art language model that can be used during learning and assignments. The AI has access to lecture materials and is calibrated by guidelines provided by the lecturer. To foster critical thinking, students are encouraged to report fail cases and are rewarded with extra points for errors found. A link to the pilot can be found here:

(Note: The current project is still the pilot; ask it questions about lecture content, if you have questions. Full functionality will be available during the semester.)
If you are interested in supervision for your Bachelor's Thesis, Master's Thesis, or PhD, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am currently interested in topics related to
measurement of subjective expectations (experiments and surveys)
calibration and comparison of set-valued predictions (Ambiguity)
the connection between subjective expectations and decision-making
(probabilistic) survey expectations (SCE - Survey of Consumer Expectations, SBU - Survey of Business Uncertainty, SPF Survey of Professional Forecasters),
models of (irrational) belief updating like smooth Diagnostic Expectations
prediction markets and superforecasters
language models as text to prediction algorithms
For a Bachelor's or Master's Thesis, I recommend filling out this Questionnaire and sending it to me to help me find a suitable topic for you that fits your interest and expertise.
