Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Given a graph G whose edges are perfectly reliable and whose nodes each operate independently with probability the node reliability of G is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational nodes can all communicate in the subgraph that they induce; it is the analogous node measure of robustness to the well studied all‐terminal reliability, where the nodes are perfectly reliable but the edges fail randomly. In sharp contrast to what is known about the roots of the all‐terminal reliability polynomial, we show that the node reliability polynomial of any connected graph on at least three nodes has a nonreal polynomial root, the collection of real roots of all node reliability polynomials is unbounded, and the collection of complex roots of all node reliability polynomials is dense in the entire complex plane. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
