Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

D'Eon et al. concluded that change in performance self-assessment means from before to after a workshop can detect workshop success in their and other situations. In this commentary, their recommendation is refuted by showing that (a) self-assessments with balanced over- and underestimations are still biased and should not be used to evaluate workshops, even though the means of self-assessments and criterion measures are artificially equal; (b) participants' performance should not be attributed directly to training, even if the self-assessments are psychometrically valid and obtained prior to the workshop as well; (c) self-assessment findings should not be generalized to other situations without further analysis and caution, even if the participants' performance can be attributed to training. For clarifying the recommendation by D'Eon et al. to use ``aggregated self-assessments'' to evaluate workshops, analysis of multilevel data is explained and discussed. Finally, nine rules of thumb in using self-assessments for evaluating training are provided.

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.
