Public materials compiled with generative AI
These are not finished books or settled conclusions but a record of experiments — things tried out, and material gathered and put together, with generative AI. Legal-language handbooks, AI handbooks, an evidence table for animal-signal research, and five data sites that count classical music, physical constants, the Joseon Veritable Records, pre-modern privileges and Korean literary collections. Each release was checked against the originals and reviewed by an independent AI reviewer, but the work is still being revised and errors may remain. Anything wrong — a reading that departs from the original, a typo, a faulty gloss, a dead link — please report it via each repository's Issues.

AI-Assisted Handbooks
Study handbooks compiled with generative AI: reading agentic-AI papers and its hands-on companion, AI infrastructure and semiconductors, and an LLM wiki guide for lawyers.

AI History in Papers
The history of AI research from 1943 to today, followed through 191 original papers: a link to the source and one quoted sentence with its page for every point, lineage lines drawn only where a citation is confirmed, priority boxes that show both sides, and the "winters" re-examined with numbers.
Inside
- Seven erasFrom the origins of 1943 to agents since 2022: narrative, lineage graph and paper cards per chapter
- LineageEight theme groups; solid lines only for confirmed citations
- Winters and boomsTitle-phrase share, conference attendance and NeurIPS acceptances on one time axis
- Paper list and method191 papers as a table and CSV; selection rules registered before the list was made
Classical Music Metrics
An open data site that reads scores and performances as numbers. Every metric carries its definition, formula, sample and caveats, computed from open score corpora and performance datasets. The first edition covers Bach and Beethoven.
Animal Signals
Research on animal signals split into single claims, each graded for evidence from the original paper: sound, but also visual, chemical, vibrational and electric signals, and human–animal communication. A grade records how far the reported design has gone, under criteria published in full. Press sentences sit beside the papers they cite.
Physical Constants Metrics
Whether the recommended values of CODATA physical constants and CIAAW atomic weights, and the Hubble-constant estimates published since 1929, were as reliable as their own stated uncertainties.
Inside
- MetricsHalf-life, edition-to-edition moves, miss rate against 2022, tails
- Constants & atomic weights31 constants and 88 elements, values by edition with plots
- Hubble constantPublished H0 estimates and their errors: 1929–2019 chronology and metrics
- ReadingError bars and the next edition
- DataCSV downloads and licenses
Sillok Metrics
The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty counted across 414,501 articles: 34 metrics, each with a reliability card saying how far to trust the number. Version 1.2 adds two series. One codes 13,337 astronomical articles from the Goryeosa astronomical treatise, the Goryeosa-jeolyo and the Seungjeongwon Ilgi with the Sillok's codebook and checks them against the same computed sky. The other splits the Ilgi's daily weather cell into tokens and compares it with rain-gauge and modern station records.
Inside
- Metrics34 across seven series: volume, editions, sky, politics, justice, three sources compared, and the weather cell
- ReignsAll 27, with counts, metrics and a reign ribbon
- Reading editionWas the sky right? A death-penalty article is not an execution
- DataArticle table, codebooks and every judgment as CSV
From Privilege to Patent
Before modern patent and copyright law, rulers and assemblies in Venice, England and the Dutch Republic granted invention and printing privileges one petitioner at a time. 18 metrics count the surviving lists grant by grant, each with a reliability card.
Inside
- Metrics18 in five series: how many, which trades, to whom, on what terms, and the Stationers' Register
- JurisdictionsEngland, Venice and the Dutch Republic: lists and units
- Reading editionBefore and after 1624, who received them, printing
- DataWoodcroft's 14,359 entries, the Stationers' Register and every coding table as CSV
Munjip Metrics
The full XML text of the 1,249 collections of the Hanguk munjip chonggan, split into 637,203 works (one poem, one letter, one epitaph), counted in 23 metrics across four series: size, genre composition, relationship genres, authors and publication. Genre classes are the ITKC's own; parsing and linkage steps carry sampled precision. No text is reproduced; every work links to the ITKC database.
