Dr. Johannes Haug

After completing my Master's degree in Business Informatics at TUM (with a previous Bachelor's degree at DHBW Stuttgart), I started as a research assistant and PhD student in the Data Science and Analytics group at the University of Tübingen in October 2018. In September 2022, I finished my PhD project "Towards Reliable Machine Learning in Evolving Data Streams" under the supervision of Prof. Gjergji Kasneci. In October 2022, I joined the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (BCAI).

Research Interests

  • Concept Drift Detection and Adaptation
  • Local Additive Attributions and Explanations in Dynamic Data Streams
  • Efficient, Powerful and Interpretable Online Predictive Models
  • Meaningful and Standardized Evaluation of Online Learning Methods

Detailed information on our research work is available here.
