Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This note presents a generalization of postman problems with more flexibility of servicing street segments. Street segments requiring a service on both sides of the street can be covered either by two separate services or by a single zigzag service. A mixed integer fonnulation and a transformation of these postman problems into a symmetric traveUng salesman problem are presented. Even if the cost for zigzag service is not smaller than the cost of two separate services, there is still a potential of improving solutions of the corresponding arc routing problem.

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.
