Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks makes them an attractive target to the creators of viruses and other malicious code. Indeed, recently a number of viruses designed specifically to spread via P2P networks have emerged. In this paper we present a model which predicts how a P2P-based virus propagates through a network. This model is a modified version of the S-E-I (susceptible-exposed-infected) model from the field of epidemiology. Our model classifies each peer as falling into one of three categories based on the number of infected files it is sharing. We derive differential equations which comprise the deterministic model and examine the expected behaviour of the P2P network as predicted by these equations

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.
