Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Project managers often struggle with the need of sufficient reference data to train and test for reliable classifications and budget concerns that restrain the amount of justifiable field data collection. For a forest study, we supplemented our 207 ground‐measured field sites with 4000 additional photo‐interpreted reference sites. We first used aerial photography to identify the extent of homogenous regions around field‐data sites and then picked additional reference points within these areas. This approach is based on the notion that similar‐appearing areas close to a measured vegetation plot will contain approximately the same mix and density of species as the known site. This resulted in clusters of additional data points around actual field locations. We avoided overestimating the classification accuracy due to spatial autocorrelation by using an entire cluster of reference points exclusively as training or test data.

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.
