ODERSA Research · Research division of ODERSA
A research division in the service of free education
ODERSA Research carries out the research work of ODERSA. The division publishes properties under stable identifiers, dated and regenerable measurements, unretouched outputs and its limits: nothing is asserted here that cannot be re-measured. Each project lives in its own folder; this page presents the house.
Measurements of , regenerable on the current state of the system.

ODERSA Research is the research division of ODERSA (French nonprofit association under the law of 1901, RNA W751284255). The acronym stands for Organisation pour le Développement de l’Éducation, des Ressources et des Savoirs Accessibles. The association publishes the official information about the association, which is authoritative; this site links to it rather than copying it.
The content produced by the division is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. A public demonstration corpus is in preparation. Publications: in preparation.
The mission
Why a research division
ODERSA produces and publishes free educational resources. Pedagogical content commits whoever publishes it: every assertion must be traceable to the data that grounds it, and the reader must be able to retrace that path without taking anyone’s word for it. The research division exists for that requirement: it studies the procedures that make the accuracy of content demonstrable, and it publishes the evidence.
This research is not free-floating: it exists to serve the association’s free educational programmes, published on odersa.org – the demonstrated reliability of content is its own contribution.
This work serves four audiences: the association’s educational programmes, its first ground; the readers and teachers of the free resources; under-resourced languages, which equal treatment serves first; and the research community, to whom regenerable measurements give a handle.
The method of the house holds in a few rules. Open questions are stated as questions, never as promises. The properties under study carry a stable identifier – the register P1-P8, kept on the Validation page – and a dated status: sought, established or verified. Measurements are re-run in one command on the current state; the controls know how to fail, and the limits are published at the same rank as the results.
The rest is a matter of refusals. The division publishes no result that a reading could not reproduce, no numerical comparison it does not control, and no claim of priority ahead of the formal publications, which are in preparation.
The course
What the division works to make possible
That a reader, in any of the 1,000 processed languages, may open educational content that is accurate, verifiable, and written for their language rather than translated into it. The remaining distance is not rhetoric: it is measured publicly, and it is the honest-omissions column, published with every reading. Each measurement campaign replays generation and verification in each of the 1,000 languages: verifying at that scale is computational work, and it is redone on the current state at every evolution of the system.
Doctrine
What the division asserts can be re-measured
Mechanically verified properties, dated measurements, unretouched outputs, named limits – everything else waits. A claim that does not come with the means of proving it wrong does not enter this site.
Projects
Compartmentalized projects, an honest register
Each of the division’s projects lives in its own folder: a program, dated measurements, unretouched demonstrations and named limits. The register counts one active project today, and this index does not inflate: a project is added only if it really exists.
- Verifiable natural-language generation – Documents produced by a deterministic procedure and re-verified against their input facts, across 1,000 equally treated languages. Measurements of 28 August 2026: 1,646 values compared across languages, 0 conflicts.
The full index is on the Projects page; the active project’s program, readings and outputs live in its folder.

Working with the division
The division answers requests about its measurements or outputs, and reads error reports, at research@odersa.org. Institutional proposals follow the same path; the affiliation can be checked against the official information about the association.
This site
Colophon
This site is a set of static pages: the only script that runs is the settings panel’s, served by the site itself and by no one else – every page stays fully readable without it, and the panel simply disappears when it is unavailable. To that is added a schema.org description data block, which contains no code. No resource is loaded from any third-party server. The fonts are served by the site itself, the pages print cleanly and read in light and dark themes alike. The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
