Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This poster reports on experiments conducted using Google Cross‐language information retrieval (CLIR) capabilities to explore the performance of the engine using English queries to retrieve Arabic documents. A hundred one‐term English queries, using information retrieval (IR) terms, were entered in Google, and the top 10 documents retrieved by each query were saved in a local database. The saved documents were analyzed to determine the success of Google in retrieving the correct documents (documents that fit the translated terms) and to explore causes of search failures. The poster presents the results of the analyses conducted on the documents and identifies areas of improvement. It also recommends solutions to problems that hinder successful English‐Arabic CLIR on the Web.

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.
