Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Use of the World Wide Web (web) to distribute health care material has steadily increased in recent years. However, potentially detrimental health issues can arise when either accurate information is used inappropriately or when inaccurate information is assumed to be correct and implemented. Causes for this problem include the ease with which anyone can present health care material on the web. A rating system in the form of a graphic seal denoting the source as credible is one way to help the average site user discern the relative quality of information presented at a web site. Preliminary research on the effectiveness of this method has been inconclusive. The research outlined in this document will investigate a rating scheme within the context of a web credibility theoretical framework. The goal is to move towards a means of depicting credibility that is more usable as health information on the web becomes increasingly accessed around the world.

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.
