Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract- Refactoring is the process of making changes to the internal structure of existing code without changing the external behavior of that code. The resulting code is more flexible, reusable, and maintainable. While refactoring is becoming more popular in the software development community, manual refactoring can be a long and tedious process. Tools that support refactoring are becoming available; however, many provide only limited types of refactorings and require heavy user intervention. This paper presents an open source framework for an adaptive refactoring tool. The framework allows easy addition of new refactorings or modification of existing ones. An implementation of the framework is described in this paper.

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.
