Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Astronomy has been very successful, growing to over 200 students in 2000 and 2001. Their response to the unit has been excellent and at least one quarter of them have suggested that they would consider doing a second astronomy unit if it were offered. Popularity and enrolment numbers are one measure of success but, with its diverse background of the students, is Astronomy achieving its goals? To address this question we have studied the student population enrolled in the unit and used a variety of survey tools to probe student attitudes and understanding, including a southern hemisphere version of the Astronomy Diagnostic Test (ADT).

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.
