Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

CAPTCHA (Completely Automatic Public Turing Test to Tell Computer and Human Apart) systems are used to distinguish human users from computer programs automatically. The goal of them is to ask questions which human users can easily answer, but current computers cannot. Most current CAPTCHA methods are based on the weak points of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) systems. In this paper, a new CAPTCHA method is presented on the basis of object categorization. In this method, a number of objects are chosen randomly and the pictures of these objects are searched in the Internet and downloaded. The pictures are then shown to the user and the user is asked to mark the objects which belong to a specific category. If the user marks the right objects, it can be assumed that the user is a human being and not a computer program. The main advantage of this method is that it enables the human user pass even if makes a few mistakes, without compromising the security for that.

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.
