Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We have implemented a partial evaluator for Maple. One of the applications of this partial evaluator is to find, in Maple, what is the difference between generic or symbolic evaluation, and complete evaluation. More precisely, when asked degree(a*xˆ2+3,x), Maple replies 2, which is generically true. However, we are interested in the residual formula ¬(a = 0) which, as a guard, makes the answer 2 correct. While special algorithms have been derived in the past for this particular situation, we show how we can derive many of these algorithms as special cases of partially evaluating Maple code. Key words: Maple, symbolic computation, partial evaluation, specialization problem 1

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.
