Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

TXL is a functional programming language specifically designed for expressing source transformation tasks. Originally designed for the rapid prototyping of modest syntactic enhancements, in recent years it has been extensively used in large scale source code analysis and reengineering applications that are much more challenging. As a result, many common programming techniques needed in these larger scale applications are difficult or impossible to express in TXL. Examples include multi-way decisions, generic rules and functions, polymorphism and information hiding. In this paper we introduce ETXL, an experimental extension of TXL which includes convenient features designed to address these issues. Designed to be a compatible variant that remains faithful to the original TXL syntax and semantics, ETXL has itself been prototyped as a source transformation to original TXL.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

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.
