MCML Members Receive Best Paper Award at GOR 2026
Jan Simson and Christoph Kern Honored for Research on Participatory Approaches in Machine Learning
MCML PI Christoph Kern and MCML Junior Member Jan Simson received the Best Paper Award at the GOR 2026 Conference in Cologne together with Fiona Draxler and Samuel Mehr.
The award-winning paper, “Preventing Harmful Data Practices by using Participatory Input to Navigate the Machine Learning Multiverse,” highlights the importance of making key decisions across the machine learning pipeline transparent and accessible to the public. The authors propose a participatory approach to navigating different design choices in machine learning and argue that central decisions should be democratized rather than purely optimized.
Congratulations from us!
