Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Wikipedia is one of the most widely used repositories of human knowledge today, contributed mostly by a few hundred thousand regular editors. In this open environment, inevitably, differences of opinion arise among editors of the same article. Especially for polemical topics such as religion and politics, difference of opinions among editors may lead to intense “edit wars ” in which editors compete to have their opinions and points of view accepted. While such disputes can compromise the reliability of the article (or at least portions of it), they are recorded in the edit history of the articles. We posit that exposing such disputes to the reader, and pointing to the portions of the text where they manifest most prominently can be beneficial in helping concerned readers in understanding such topics. In this paper, we discuss our initial efforts towards the problem of automatic evaluation of extracting controversial points in Wikipedia pages.

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.

How this classification was reachedexpand

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.
