Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In any programming system the environment in which a program is constructed is tightly bound to the format of the data used to represent that program. As software development environments are becoming more sophisticated, there is a growing need to get richer representations of programs that allow programs to be treated at a much higher level of abstraction than as sequences of characters in source files.In this paper we explore the use of a database representation as a medium for representing and manipulating programs. We report on the work we did on two different Eclipse plugins exemplifying the potential advantages of such a representation. The first plugin explores the use of a database representation to store programs written in a traditional programming language (Java). The second plugin is part of a research effort to try to define a programming language directly in terms of a database representation.

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.
