Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I have been involved since the beginning, about six years ago. A fellow teaching assistant when I was getting my MLIS at the University of Western Ontario shared with me that it was his dream to build a library for the medical and nursing students back in his hometown of Huambo, Angola. It made sense to me he has a need and we are MLIS students who can help address it, so why not help him? So I brought the idea forward to our student council and, though it was originally conceived as a one-time project, everyone was excited about it and our enthusiasm and ambitions quickly grew and we said ―Why not have an organization that's dedicated to this?‖ Soon we got ourselves incorporated federally in Canada.

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.

Teacher imitation

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.
