Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I am standing by the cheese cabinet in our local supermarket. (This is poetic licence, you understand. I am actually sitting at my PC, but my recent supermarket experience is so vivid that I have no difficulty reliving it.) I am in a state of high anxiety. In front of me are uncountable types of cheese. There is Canadian, Irish, Welsh, New Zealand and English. There is mild, mature, extra-mature, vintage and farmhouse. There is low fat, full fat—presumably ‘high fat’ would be a marketing disaster—and vegetarian. There are special cheeses in expensive waxy paper, or in the kind of customized black rind you see in Dutch markets. There is also ‘value’ cheese with a naff logo that allows you to proclaim your penury or your meanness. These are the varieties of Cheddar alone. Faced with such an obscene superfluity of Cheddars, how can I be certain of selecting the best value, the best taste, or exactly the one my wife will like? Being of a moderately obsessional turn of mind, I try to contain my anxiety by doing a mathematical calculation of how many different options there must be here: …

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
