Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Deviant sexual interests such as pedophilia (interest in prepubescent children), biastophilia (interest in forced sex), and peo-deiktophilia (interest in exposing one's penis to strangers) are important to consider in the assessment and treatment of male sex offenders. Phallometry, the measurement of erectile responses to sexual stimuli, is the best available measure of male sexual interests. This article summarizes the research on the discriminative and predictive validity of phallometrically-measured sexual interests, discusses common professional or ethical objections to the clinical use of phallometry, and comments on the advantages and disadvantages of two alternative measures (visual reaction time and sexual offense history scales).

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. 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.
