Gock Labs
We're a small independent research group in Vancouver, BC, studying how information flows through modern software systems. Our work focuses on content pipelines, data transformation, and the reliability of automated summarization.
What We Do
Content Pipeline Analysis
We study how content changes as it passes through automated processing systems — from raw source to final presentation. Understanding these transformations helps build more transparent software.
Summarization Quality
Automated summarization is everywhere, but how faithful are the summaries? We develop methods to measure and improve the accuracy of machine-generated summaries across domains.
Open Data Practices
All of our datasets, methodologies, and findings are published under open licenses. We believe reproducibility is the foundation of credible research.
