Abstract
Welcome to OOPSLA 2002 in Seattle, Washington, USA, November 4-8, 2002.We bring you the proceedings of the technical papers track of the 17th OOPSLA, whose history has started back in 1986. Despite OOPSLA having been held in the neighboring cities of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver. B.C. several times, this is the first time that OOPLSA has taken a trip to Seattle.Despite recent difficult times, including the tragic events of last year, there were a healthy number of technical track paper submissions - 125 submitted in total, and all the papers were reviewed with stringent acceptance criteria, what OOPSLA has been traditionally reputed for. In fact the reviews were more carefully than previous years - there were 4-5 reviewers assigned to each paper, and the reviewers were asked explicitly to give comprehensive reviews to benefit the authors. During the two full days of the PC meeting, each paper was discussed in detail, and at the end the program committee decided to accept 25 for publication and presentation at OOPSLA 2002.Of the 25, five are PC papers, i.e., papers whose authors include PC members. I must make a note that in fact they were held to higher standard than normal paper acceptance. There were a number of PC papers submitted this year, and steps were taken to assure fairness, so that being on the PC never became an advantage. For example, more reviewers were assigned to PC papers - from 5 reviewers up to 8, and a special session was held during the PC meeting to discuss individual PC submissions in full anonymity. Also, the evaluation criteria itself was held to a higher, more stringent standard; as such the higher number of PC paper acceptance merely exemplifies that the PC members themselves were top, active researchers in the OO field, performing quality work for themselves.The PC meeting was held on the Microsoft Campus during May 3-4th in Redmond, WA, courtesy of Microsoft who provided various administrative as well as financial supports for the PC, to which OOPSLA acknowledges with deepest appreciation for their generosity. It is quite satisfying that one of the top software companies has decided to back OOPSLA in a significant way, demonstrating that OOPSLA is considered to be one of the premiere research and technology forums by the industry.Finally, I must mention that, just before the time of this writing we experienced the unfortunate, consecutive passing of the two Norwegian pioneers of object-oriented computing, namely professors Kristen Nygaard and O.J. Dahl. In fact, they had just received the honorable ACM Turing Award for their achievements, and Professor Nygaard was to present his Turing Award speech as a keynote for OOPSLA 2002. Their work in Simula-67 essentially initiated our field 35 years ago, and their successive work in Beta still influences many of the research presented at OOPSLA today. My deepest condolences to both families as well as many of our colleagues who were closely acquainted with them.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
