Impact Notes
Algorithms Are Not Monoliths
Learning Collider’s research often involves surveying the users of a partner tech platform, frequently to better understand their beliefs about their local community, whether that’s school quality, air quality, rental pricing, or other relevant metrics.
Randomization Round-Up
Randomization is a powerful tool for cutting through the noise and complexity of humans; it’s key to rigorous research and experimentation. Properly randomizing treatment and control groups for an intervention, program, or product can help us generate strong evidence of causality — not just correlation.
