Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Constant exposure to literary fiction enhances our empathetic understanding and fosters our imagination. Year after year, psychologists have tried to unravel this mystery that whether reading literary fiction purges our ethical and social sensitivity or not. The intricately delineated characters and dramatic predicaments in a literary fiction have a universal appeal and we are often fascinated by them. We are fond of reading literary fiction because the characters in it are reflections of us or someone we are acquainted with. The more characters in fictions we come across, the more we are aware that no two characters are alike, the thoughts, feelings, ideas and perspectives of one are different from the other. Distinct characters of the virtual world give us a deeper insight into the lives of people that we come across in the real world. Reading literary fiction certainly invigorates the human in us and makes us more sensitive towards those who are suffering.

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.
