Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Today most buildings are equipped with adequate fire safety systems. Never the less fires still occur, even fatal fires. During a fire, problems frequently arise because systems were put in place with false expectations regarding how occupants actually behave during fires. The observation that occupants tend to ignore the sound of the fire alarm in large public buildings such as shopping centres, museums or airports, continuing their normal activities should be taken into account. In office buildings, well designed fire doors have failed to fulfill their role because occupants have installed door stops to facilitate free movement in the everyday use of the building; thus in the event of a fire, the doors stay open. Many of these problems could be foreseen if more attention were given to human behaviour in fire. In addition, there are a number of other factors that could have an impact on occupant response and behaviour. These factors are related to the occupants? characteristics, the building characteristics and the fire characteristics. Consideration should be given to the interplay of these factors to gain a better understanding of human behaviour in fire and to improve the design and implementation of fire safety systems in buildings.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
