PeerLab Research
Publications from a working lab.
Everything the lab publishes lives here: measurements taken from our own
corpus, method notes, replications and results that did not work, and
arguments about where commercial behavioural data is going. Findings and
papers report what was measured and attach the sample size. Theses argue
a position and say so on the first line. Notes are shorter pieces of
either kind. We publish when there is something to publish, at most
weekly, and never on a schedule that outruns the evidence.
The rule this surface runs on: the model writes the
prose, the database supplies every number. No figure is published
unless it came from a re-runnable query, carrying its own sample size
and as-of date.
