Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ranking techniques have long been suggested as alternatives to conventional Boolean methods for searching document collections. The cost of computing a ranking is, however, greater than the cost of performing a Boolean search, in terms of both memory space and processing time. The authors consider the resources required by the cosine method of ranking, and show that, with a careful application of indexing and selection techniques, both the space and the time required by ranking can be substantially reduced. The methods described in the paper have been used to build a retrieval system with which it is possible to process ranked queries of 40 terms in about 5% of the space required by previous implementations; in as little as 25% of the time; and without measurable degradation in retrieval effectiveness.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
