| # Microduck community feedback |
|
|
| What people told [Microduck Studio](https://github.com/craigm26/duck-studio) when they corrected a |
| proposed plan or chose between two walking ducks. One JSON object per line, in the |
| [`duck-feedback/0`](https://github.com/craigm26/duckbatch/blob/main/docs/duck-feedback-0.md) format. |
|
|
| - **`route_correction`**: a plain-language router proposed labels for one clause (for example |
| "turn left" → `turn_left`), and the person kept, edited or discarded them. These labels |
| recalibrate and fine-tune the router. |
| - **`policy_preference`**: the person watched two trained walkers do the same thing in simulation |
| and chose one, called it a tie, or said neither walked well. These are pairwise comparisons, |
| with the side each walker was shown on recorded so side bias can be measured. |
| |
| ## How records get here |
| |
| Nobody uploads to this dataset directly, and the app runs no server. A person who sets |
| *Share with the community* in the app's Settings can press **Contribute**. That opens a **pull |
| request** here from their own Hugging Face account. Maintainers check every pull request with |
| `duckbatch feedback pull --pr <n>` (which fetches it and refuses any record not marked public) |
| before merging it. |
|
|
| - **Consent is in every record.** Only records whose `consent.share` is `public` are accepted. |
| The app sends no others, and the validator refuses them. |
| - **No personal data in the records.** A record carries no name, account, device identifier or |
| location. `id` is a random UUID per record. The only free text is the clause the person typed. |
| - **The pull request shows the contributor's Hugging Face username.** That is Hugging Face's |
| record of who opened it; the app tells the person before they send. |
| - **Held out from the start.** duckbatch splits by a hash of `id`: 80% train, 20% held out, |
| deterministic and never re-drawn. Report anything learned on the held-out part. |
|
|
| ## Layout |
|
|
| `contributions/<UTC date>/<random uuid>.jsonl`, one file per pull request. |
|
|
| ## Licence |
|
|
| CC0-1.0. Contributors are told this in the app before they send. |
