New experiment treats papers as raw data, with expert shepherds organizing analysis
ShahabBakht · x · 2026-10-27
A quoted passage describes a new release experiment: manuscripts are treated as "raw research data," and to convert them into scientific understanding, external experts were recruited as "shepherds" to organize groups that digest and interpret the new results — an alternative to traditional peer review, tied to the release of the "When Models Manipulate Manifolds" counting-task paper shown in the image.
