Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There exists a number of problems in the traditional method for belief updating. First, it is generally believed that the junction tree propagation (JTP) method cannot compute p(X|e) when X is not contained in a node of the junction tree. Secondly, the local propagation procedure has to be applied whenever new evidence is observed. Many researchers have attempted to solve the first problem. Contrary to common belief, in this paper we show that one can in fact easily compute p(X\e) by the standard JTP method for any X. We also show that it is not necessary to repeat the local propagation procedure for processing new evidence. More importantly, perhaps, we suggest a more efficient method for belief updating. Our method requires to compute the marginals of the individual nodes in the junction tree only once.

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.
