Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Family history research has become a very popular hobby during the last few years due to the ready access to records of births and marriages. Many people have rigorously traced their ancestors back to 1700 and earlier, corresponding to some 12 generations. The principal motivation of most amateur genealogists is to learn about the lives of their forebears and they trust these ‘legal’ records without question and do not usually acknowledge that cuckoldry may have occurred and that their true ancestors may not have been the ones recorded.

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.
