Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The popularity of the spreadsheet attests to its success at providing a usable programming interface to users with no programming experience. This success prompts the question of how a spreadsheet could be extended to be more powerful while retaining its ease of use. Adding the ability to express and satisfy constraints within the spreadsheet would enable it to be used to solve more complex problems. In this paper, a model for adding constraint satisfaction to a spreadsheet is given. It is designed to be spreadsheet-centric, in that the means to define and solve constraint networks is designed to be familiar to spreadsheet users. The model is implemented using Microsoft Excel and is contrasted with other models of adding constraint satisfaction to spreadsheets.

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.
