Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is well established, in English and Commonwealth law that a loss may be compensated even though its value cannot be established with any degree of certainty. Where the uncertainly is not of the plaintiff's making, and she has suffered a real loss, the court will attempt to assess it, however difficult the task.A number of recent cases, English, Canadian and Australian, crossing the boundaries between tort and contract and between personal injuries and economic loss, have raised interesting and important questions about the relationship of the principle of causation to this aspect of the assessment of damages.

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.
