Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I am impressed by the review by Brian Cooper of psychiatry in Britain.1 He is an erstwhile colleague of mine. As a Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology he gave it forensic attention. I have been in psychiatry since 1964, and have been an academic in London, Hobart, Toronto, and St Louis. Latterly, I have been a clinician in Plymouth. I have to say that my English experience in recent years has been disappointing and unexciting. Professor Cooper talks of the decline of psychiatry as a medical career and he is absolutely right. As said, it is not recruiting sufficient British graduates. Furthermore, the situation is becoming unacceptable as the subject is thought of by some as an odd specialty. However, before all is lost we need to remember certain epidemiological facts. One in five people in the UK and other countries will develop an affective disorder (anxiety and depression) during their lifetimes; and the World Health Organization has predicted that by 2020 depressive illness will be the commonest medical condition in the world. So let us get serious.

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.
