Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

When building a software system, software developers each contribute a flow of information that together forms the system. As they work, programmers continuously consult various facts (knowledge) about this information to answer their questions about the system. The knowledge most easily accessed today in a programming environment involves facts about the structure of the program. However, the knowledge required by a programmer is broader than just structure; it also includes knowledge about design, requirements, and the development process, to name just a few other sources. To enable developers to access this knowledge more efficiently, our goal is to develop a model for programming environments that allows various fragments of different kinds of knowledge to be configured flexibly. This model would enable new presentations to show these knowledge fragments in ways that more directly answer programmers' questions.

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.
