01.1

Who checks what the model is going to learn.

A model cannot tell a checked figure from an unchecked one

Calaa is the group's intelligence layer. What decides its quality is not which model it uses, which is the part that distinguishes no one, but which corpus sits underneath. Mind checks that corpus before it goes in.

01.1.1

Por qué la comprobación va antes del modelo

Hoy cualquiera genera un informe con una inteligencia artificial en diez minutos. Lo que ya no es fácil es responder de dónde sale cada dato, y ese es el trabajo que hace Mind.

Un modelo entrenado sobre cifras sin origen produce respuestas igual de fluidas que uno entrenado sobre cifras comprobadas. La diferencia no se nota al leerlas. Se nota seis meses después, cuando alguien decide con una de ellas.

The two answers

Both read the same. Only one can be checked

On a checked corpus
  • the source
  • the date
  • the parameter

Every figure keeps the three marks

Where does this figure come from?

Answered in one click

On an unchecked corpus
  • the source
  • the date
  • the parameter

The answer reads just as fluently and there is nothing underneath

Where does this figure come from?

Cannot be answered

The difference does not show when you read them. It shows when someone asks where a figure comes from, and by then the decision has been taken.

Two answers to the same brief, one on a checked corpus and one on an unchecked one. What changes is not in the text, it is in what each figure carries underneath. The figure compares structure, not writing.

01.1.2

Las tres reglas que se aplican antes de escribir una línea

Se aplican a cada dato que va a entrar en el corpus, no al informe terminado.

  1. 01

    Fuentes fiables

    Instituciones oficiales, organismos públicos, estudios académicos, publicaciones especializadas y empresas reconocidas de investigación. Cuando la única fuente disponible no cumple ese listón, el dato entra marcado o no entra.

  2. 02

    Contraste cruzado

    Cada dato se cruza con varias fuentes para descartar el sesgo. Cuando dos fuentes fiables no coinciden, se conservan las dos en vez de elegir la que conviene.

  3. 03

    Análisis crítico

    Se evalúa la fuente, la fecha, el método y los intereses que pueda haber detrás. Un dato correcto en el contexto equivocado también engaña, y es la forma más frecuente de equivocarse con un número que es cierto.

The three gates

None of the three rules answers yes or no

A figure

  1. 01

    Fuentes fiables

    Enters marked, or does not enter

  2. 02

    Contraste cruzado

    If two reliable sources disagree, both are kept

  3. 03

    Análisis crítico

    A correct figure in the wrong context stays out

Enters the corpus, with its label

All three come before writing, not after. A figure that reaches the end enters carrying the label of where it passed, and that label travels with it into the corpus.

A figure's route through the three rules, in the order they are applied. Each gate has its own exit. It ranks the route, not how many figures each one takes.

01.1Before the model

Un modelo no pregunta de dónde sale un dato. Alguien tiene que haberlo preguntado antes.

Checking has someone behind it. Someone decides what goes in, and that decision is written next to the figure.

01.1.3

Qué se marca, y por qué el modelo lo necesita marcado

Tres etiquetas que viajan con el dato y no se pierden al agregarlo.

  1. This is an estimate

    An estimate presented as a measurement spreads without warning.

    When the figure is a calculation of ours and not a measurement, it says so and explains how it was obtained. After that it cannot be corrected, because whoever received it used it as if it were a taken reading.

  2. This cannot be answered

    No artificial intelligence writes on its own that something has no answer.

    A question the available data does not close is marked as open, with what it would take to close it. A model always finds something to answer, so the gap has to be written down by someone first.

  3. This comes from here

    The mark travels with the figure and does not stay in an appendix.

    Every figure keeps its source, its date and the parameter it was accepted by, next to the figure. That way it is still there when someone takes it elsewhere, which is when it usually gets lost.

01.1.4

Lo que Calaa devuelve

La capa de inteligencia agrega, relaciona y responde sobre un corpus que Mind ha comprobado. Cuando una respuesta se apoya en un dato marcado como estimación, la marca sigue ahí. Esa es la única manera de que el grupo pueda usar su propia inteligencia para decidir y no solo para redactar.

The route of the mark

The mark is still there when the answer comes out the other side

The mark

  1. The checked figure

    Enters with its source, its date and the parameter it was accepted by

  2. The corpus

    Lost here if it does not travel declared

    It is aggregated with everything else, and that is where the origin usually gets lost

  3. The model

    Learns on what has been checked, not on what was at hand

  4. The answer

    Arrives with the mark of what supports it, estimates included

Without the mark, the answer reads just as well and cannot be checked. With it, the group decides with its own intelligence instead of only writing with it.

The four hops a figure takes from being checked to supporting an answer. The figure follows one mark; it does not count how many figures pass through each layer.
