Marlowe | AI + Data for Science with Stephen Baccus

Sep 23, 2026

Sessions run Wednesdays from 4:30–5:30 PM in CoDa E160. Each session features a different Stanford speaker; talk titles are announced by the organizers.

While current evaluation practices rely on static benchmarks, these methods face fundamental efficiency, reliability, and real-world relevance challenges. This talk presents a path toward a measurement framework that bridges established psychometric principles with modern AI evaluation needs. We demonstrate how techniques from Item Response Theory, amortized computation, and predictability analysis can substantially improve the rigor and efficiency of AI evaluation. Through case studies in safety assessment and capability measurement, we show how this approach can enable more reliable, scalable, and meaningful evaluation of AI systems. This work points toward a broader vision: evolving AI evaluation from a collection of benchmarks into a rigorous measurement science that can effectively guide research, deployment, and policy decisions.
