Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Begun in 2006, this survey-based project aims to identify and facilitate activity and interest in writing in the disciplines in higher education around the world. Interested both in first-language and in English-language initiatives, the project encourages responses concerning college-university activities, undergraduate and graduate, focused in disciplines, as well as academic writing centers or similar services devoted to working with students and faculty/staff in and across disciplines. Two different surveys, one international and one focused on the U. S. and Canada, comprise the project. This paper describes the origins, aims, and methods of the surveys, accounts for their differences, and begins to report early results.

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.

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.
