Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Human Interactive Proof (HIP) systems have been introduced to distinguish between various groups of users. CAPTCHA methods are one of the important branches of HIP systems, which are used to distinguish between human users and computer programs automatically and block automated computer programs form abusing Web services. The goal of these systems is to ask questions, which human users can easily answer but current computer programs cannot. In this chapter, the authors collect different pioneering works, which are done on CAPTCHA systems and create a complete survey of them. They collect more than 100 published works and classify them into 3 categories. This chapter contains different works, which are done for creating CAPTCHA methods and assessing CAPTCHA methods from different aspects, including the attacks done against CAPTCHA methods. This chapter can be used by researchers in CAPTCHA domains to quickly find previous works.

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.
