Golden Toad Research

Research on the reliability of intelligent systems.

We test whether the accepted ways of evaluating AI capture how these systems behave once they leave the benchmark, with current work in medical imaging and neuroscience.

Areas of inquiry

Each project starts from one question: does the standard metric measure what we care about? Select a bubble to explore an area.

The Rankings Board: college football ratings on a conspiracy wall

An alternative to the AP poll for the Power Four and Notre Dame. Opponent-adjusted ratings, a strength of schedule that re-grades itself every week, and what-if schedules you can play out on a pin board of red string.

Featured study · Medical imaging

A routine scanner setting can move AI tumor measurements past a clinical threshold.

Using the National Lung Screening Trial, we compared AI segmentation on the same CT acquisition reconstructed with two different filters. Overlap scores did not change. Measured tumor volume did.

Patients whose AI-measured volume changed by more than 25% between reconstructions

Box-prompt result is exploratory. Protocol fixed before training; test set scored once.

I Have No Body, and I Must Steer

A spiking model of the fruit fly connectome, given a simple body and placed in a hide and seek game. Silencing two dozen neurons in its compass pathway leaves the seeker almost unable to win.

Media forensics

AI-generated video detection

A detector for AI-generated video that checks visual, temporal, and audio evidence separately, explains each flag, and attributes the clip to its likely generator.

The lab

A research lab for testing whether AI is measured the way it is used, across medical imaging, neuroscience, and media.
