Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 1996, the then Minister for Local Transport, Mr Steven Norris, launched the National Cycling Strategy, with its goals to double cycle use from 1996 levels by 2002 and double use again by 2012. A quarter of car journeys are less than two miles distance and more than half are shorter than five miles'. Only the bicycle can match (or perhaps exceed) the car's flexibility and speed for such trips. The health benefits of moderate daily exercise are very significant, including much reduced risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes, colon cancer and obesity. Official support for cycling is limited by concerns about safety. This paper aims to explore the risk in cycling, both as an absolute risk and risk relative to other modes of travel in Britain and other countries. (A)

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
