Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Code repurposing is often used for system development and to learn both APIs and programming techniques. Repurposing code typically requires that you understand the code first. This makes it an excellent candidate as an assessment tool in computer science and software engineering education. This strategy might also have a special application in combatting plagiarism. This paper discusses experiences using code repurposing as an assessment tool in different courses and with different sections.

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.
