Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While goals models can visually present alternate ways for achieving goals and how actors depend on each other, it can be challenging to follow the reasoning through complex paths in the model. In earlier studies which tested the utility of procedures for guiding analysts to perform interactive forward and backward reasoning through i* models, we uncovered several difficulties faced by study participants. Users often have trouble choosing suitable starting points for analyzing the model, and in understanding conflicts among alternatives. We have recently developed visualization mechanisms to alleviate these difficulties. Specifically, roots and leaves in the model are automatically detected and highlighted as suggested starting points for analysis. Goals within a conflicting path are highlighted during analysis. The visualization mechanisms were tested with users in five follow-up studies. The results suggest several further visualization mechanisms which could support analysis.

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.
