Ask your first question
Semilattice is a computational research platform which lets you predict how specific populations of people would answer questions. Follow the steps below to ask your first question.
Choose which population to ask
Semilattice simulates how specific populations of people answer questions, so you first need to decide who to ask.
Choose from a range of ready-to-use populations
Choose from a range of ready-to-use public populations or schedule a call to talk about custom populations for your audiences.
Write your question
Semilattice currently supports single option multiple-choice questions. You can ask about anything the population may have talked about online before the population’s knowledge cutoff. For the public populations, the knowledge cutoff is September 2021.
Ask any single option multiple-choice question
Click Predict
When you click Predict, Semilattice simulates the population answering your question thousands of times. This maximises accuracy but can take up to 90 seconds.
Semilattice simulates thousands of answers for accuracy
Interpret the results
A bar chart will display the results once the prediction is complete. There will be one bar for each of the question’s answer options. The width of each bar represents the percentage of the population who were predicted to choose that answer option.
Results are generated in less than 90 seconds
The error bars show the estimated, potential error for each answer option based on the population’s evaluation scores.
