Research

Fineuralab research records on AI-assisted research, paper reading, reproduction, evaluation, methods, and field observations.

Research notebook

What I am investigating, and what I still do not know

This notebook contains methods I use, papers I have read, planned or completed reproductions, small experiments, and field notes. The status beside each entry is not decoration: it separates a working draft, an unrun study, and an actual result.

Current questions

Three questions currently on my desk

  1. 01How can AI assist research without breaking the evidence trail?Working method
  2. 02What evaluation design reduces preference for fluent but weak AI answers?Calibration instrument ready
  3. 03How can a small lab reproduce a paper's key claim at minimum cost?Reproduction protocol

External inputs

I use news and deadlines for planning, not as substitutes for research
