Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Competency-based learning has been used in training employees to acquire the necessary skills for an organization to be successful in dynamic and ever-changing environment. One of the core activities in competency-based training is learning material acquisition. Standardization efforts have made the retrieval of educational materials, also called learning objects, easier by describing them in pre-defined metadata schema. However, the existing standardized metadata schema and practices of learning object metadata annotation do not support automatic selection of resources by specific competency requirements in the competency-based learning. We propose an ontology-based competency formalization approach as a way of representing competency-related information together with other metadata in ontology in order to enhance machine automation in resources retrieval. The approach represents competency with properties of definition, knowledge reference, evidence of proficiency, and level of proficiency. The effectiveness of resource selection from each of the property is evaluated.

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.
