Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

SEEKING TO IMPROVE productivity and offset the impact of generic competition, major drug companies GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer are making more cuts to their internal research operations. In announcing earnings last week, GSK said it wants to carve $800 million out of its cost structure by 2012; half of that amount will come from R&D. Though the company isn’t specifying how many jobs will be cut, it does say the bulk of the savings will come from a “reduction of infrastructure.” GSK has proposed ending R&D activities across several sites, including Tonbridge, U.K., which is expected to be closed; Verona, Italy; Zagreb, Croatia; and Ponzan, Poland, a company spokesperson confirms. Further, the company has proposed ending preclinical development at its Mississauga, Ontario, site, and end neurosciences drug activity in Harlow, U.K. In addition, GSK is abandoning research in select neuroscience areas, including depression and pain. At the same time, it has created a new ...

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.
