Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we discuss cultural probes and how they can be used to benefit the design of communication community. A cultural probe is an experimental research method that provides "inspirational data" [9] for design. Through a cultural probe study that we undertook we were able to gain new insights into approaches toward a research project regarding collaboration between artists and scientists. Cultural probes offer the possibility for sustainable communication between designers and those being designed for. It does so by allowing a mental shift in the designer to be able to think from the target demographic's perspective so that designs can reflect that population's desires and concerns.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
