Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Changes in both the political environment leading to reductions in defence budgets, and the commercial environment, with competition creating cost pressures, are forcing companies to concentrate upon reducing cost throughout a product's lifecycle. This focus is especially important during design and development, because of greater pressures on costs and margins and the introduction of new management ideas and technical processes. As well as increasing requirements on the estimators, there are also increasing requirements on the information used by the estimators. This is because the cost models will demand new approaches to information management, beyond the provision of historical cost information, which remains the basis of cost information used today.

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.
