Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre manages a heterogeneous collection of data from the following ground and space-based telescopes: CFHT, DRAO, FUSE , Gemini, HST , JCMT, and MOST . The archive data models implemented for these data collections are ten years old and pre-date two important developments: the Virtual Observatory and the systematic generation and management of data products. Three years ago, we began the process of supporting access to processed data products through IVOA protocols such as SIA by building a layer over the archive data models. Today, we now realise that this approach of layering VO models on archive models is not sufficient and that every archive must be re-tooled to properly support the VO – from the storage model through to the query, processing and access models. The CADC has begun an ambitious software development effort to implement a new infrastructure to serve both telescope archive and Virtual Observatory needs.

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.
