Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents Web Gad, a tool intended to improve how users perform information gathering tasks on the Web. Web Gad is meant to assist users with several subtasks under the information gathering task with specific emphasis on managing, organizing, keeping, and re-finding information during the task. The prototype system was designed based on recommendations derived in a previous user study (Alhenshiri et al., 2012) in which the user behavior, user activities, used tools, and encountered difficulties were observed and analyzed. Web Gad is ready for evaluation in a planned complete factorial and counterbalanced user study to demonstrate its effectiveness, efficiency, and enjoyments as a Web information gathering tool.

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.
