Why great AI scores can fail in production

Choose what a fixed delivery rule can know, then check every prediction against the outcome.

InterpretabilityAbout 7 min

What an AI explanation can actually tell you

Move the reference and split duplicate-feature credit while the prediction stays consistent.

Tabular MLAbout 7 min

Foundation models meet the spreadsheet: where TabPFN fits

Write a fair comparison for TabPFN and familiar models before running an experiment.

What happens between your prompt and the next word?

Inspect visible token pieces, then turn pair counts into probabilities and a continuation.

FoundationsAbout 5 min

Mapping meaning: what embeddings reveal and what they hide

Compare full-vector similarity with a lossy map that deliberately drops negation.

Evaluation & rigorAbout 5 min

Evaluating AI assistants beyond an accuracy score

An answer can get the total right while inventing its explanation. Trace each claim to a record.

Prompt is not permission

Follow a synthetic banking request through the application boundary and inspect the corpus.
