Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Most courses on computational modeling involve having students skilled in the computer science implement various computational models. Here, a course is presented which is aimed at students with minimal programming background. The focus is on using a large number of different models on various problems. Students learn how well various algorithms work, rather than how to implement them. They are provided with simple implementations and sample code that makes use of these implementations, and are then asked to adapt the given system to deal with other problems. This material is presented as part of the ongoing development of this course, and it is hoped that others may find it useful for their own courses and research.

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.

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.
