Hi! My name is Clovis. I'm an PhD student studying distributed AI. In my spare time, I work on social science projects.

One of my big interests is mathematically modelling dating and relationship dynamics. I study how well people's stated and revealed preferences align. I'd love to chat about experimental design and behavioral modeling! There are a couple of ideas around empirically differentiating models of people's preferences that I'd love to vet in particular. I've only really read the Sequences though, and I know that there's a lot of prior discussion here on that stuff; is this the right place to ask question about the right terms to search for? LessWrong terminology can sometimes be a bit different than econ journal terminology.
