Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The World Wide Web has become a primary meeting place for information and recreation, for communication and commerce, for a quarter of the world's population. Millions of Web authors have created billions of Web pages, unknowingly providing texts to be mined for their linguistic and cultural content. The Web has evolved into the resource of first resort for lexicographers and linguists, for translators, teachers, and other language professionals. As a source of machine‐readable texts for corpus linguists and researchers in complementary fields like natural language processing (NLP), information retrieval, and text mining, the Web offers extraordinary accessibility, quantity, variety, and cost‐effectiveness. Investigators in these disciplines have developed scores of tools and products from Web content for both researchers and end users, and authored hundreds of scholarly papers on their projects.

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.
