Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper uses spreadsheet tools to solve portfolio selection problems numerically. Without the encumbrance of any algorithmic details and formal programming requirements, the analysis can easily accommodate various relevant constraints, such as investment limits and institutional procedures for short selling. In addition, it illustrates how the portfolio concept can be delivered pedagogically without relying on unrealistic assumptions found in many investment textbooks. This approach can also enhance the practical relevance and accessibility of portfolio analysis to investors.

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.
