Analyze Experiment Results

Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

Step 1: Locate Results

Find all relevant JSON/CSV result files: - Check figures/, results/, or project-specific output directories - Parse JSON results into structured data

Step 2: Build Comparison Table

Organize results by: - Independent variables: model type, hyperparameters, data config - Dependent variables: primary metric (e.g., perplexity, accuracy, loss), secondary metrics - Delta vs baseline: always compute relative improvement

Step 3: Statistical Analysis

  • If multiple seeds: report mean +/- std, check reproducibility
  • If sweeping a parameter: identify trends (monotonic, U-shaped, plateau)
  • Flag outliers or suspicious results

Step 4: Generate Insights

For each finding, structure as: 1. Observation: what the data shows (with numbers) 2. Interpretation: why this might be happening 3. Implication: what this means for the research question 4. Next step: what experiment would test the interpretation

Step 5: Update Documentation

If findings are significant: - Propose updates to project notes or experiment reports - Draft a concise finding statement (1-2 sentences)

Output Format

Always include: 1. Raw data table 2. Key findings (numbered, concise) 3. Suggested next experiments (if any)
