GeoSearcher: Geospatial ranking of search engine results
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Current search engines build indices based on keyword occurrence and frequency and use this information along with link and usage analysis to rank the results of Boolean query negotiation. This approach is fast, robust, and generic but produces the same ranked order of the results no matter the intent of the user. Some queries are related to physical locations and distances. Queries of this type are common including; finding activities, online browsing for shopping, finding schools, planning trips, and, perhaps, finding the closest Italian restaurant. In this paper, we describe a prototype system that provides dynamic ranking of search engine results for queries with a geospatial dimension based on the URL of the host site. We evaluate this approach using both user queries and random web pages. This work makes a contribution to the retrieval experience on the web by providing an alternative ranking order for search engine results. This means that users with queries with a geospatial concern can more readily exploit the results of general search engine results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
