Data Science & AI

Intelligence, engineered.

We design and build AI-powered data products — from composable agent frameworks and MCP servers to document intelligence pipelines, interactive dashboards, and reproducible research workflows.

New vigour involving statisticians to overcome ensemble fatigue

Perspective · Nature Climate Change 7, 697–703 (2017) · Benestad et al., including M. D. S. Mesquita

A co-authored perspective on how statistical thinking can improve the interpretation of climate model ensembles, help extract meaningful information from them, and support more efficient experimental design and uncertainty assessment.

On the Statistical Insignificance of Persona-Based Prompt Bloating in LLM-Driven Machine Translation

Preprint · Michel d. S. Mesquita

Controlled empirical study with GPT-4o across four languages comparing full, stripped, and meta-optimised prompt variants. Key finding: a 45.7% token reduction yields no measurable quality loss (BLEU Δ −0.04, COMET Δ −0.0001) — prompt optimisation delivers economic, not qualitative, benefits.
