Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fears that swine influenza, which seems to have caused the deaths of around 150 people in Mexico, could become a full pandemic have prompted action across the globe. As the BMJ went to press on Tuesday Mexico’s health minister, Jose Angel Cordova, was putting the number of deaths from the outbreak of A/H1N1 swine flu in his country at about 150. The World Health Organization said that only 26 cases in that country had been confirmed and that seven people had died. The United States had reported 40 laboratory confirmed human cases of swine flu there, with no deaths, while Canada had reported six cases of infection, Spain two, Israel one, and New Zealand three—none of which had resulted in death. In the United Kingdom the Scottish Government said it had two confirmed cases of swine flu in people admitted to Monklands Hospital in Lanarkshire after they returned from a holiday in Mexico.

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.
