Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I'm always amazed by the beauty of the atomic spectra and can imagine the excitement of the early spectroscopists when they realized that the line spectra uniquely identify the elements. I would like physics students to share that excitement, but find that the tedious nature of reading a Vernier scale in a darkened room, reading fractional angles in minutes of degrees, and converting angles in degrees and minutes to decimal notation soon make the exercise so tedious that students lose sight of the intended task of identifying and characterizing the spectral lines. At Acadia University, we have adapted a PASCO rotary motion sensor1 and voltage probe, both interfaced to a computer using a Vernier LabPro,2 to semi-automate our spectrometer3 measurements.

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.
