Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Internet as a source of information is vast, disorganized, and continually in a state of flux between updating and stagnating. Students must develop strategies to cope with these problems. The Internet itself provides many opportunities for students to be taught the skills of evaluation: appraisal, criticism, discrimination, comparison, ranking, and verification. It can provide the modeling of strategies for using search engines, how to distinguish between good and poor sites, and detecting misinformation.

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.

How this classification was reachedexpand

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.
