Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Activity monitoring is the task of continual observation, which in many cases, needs to verify a window of data that is captured from a data stream. For some types of categorical data, such as zip codes and phone numbers, hundreds of unique attribute values exist and the frequency vector of a window will be high-dimensional and sparse. This vector is then hard to be compared to the frequency vector of the training set that was collected from a much longer period of time. In this paper, using topic models, we present a method for dimensionality reduction which can detect anomalous windows with low false positive and false negative rates. We also address the problem of the variable nature of normal data by updating the model parameters along with the gradual changes of the data. Our experiments on several real life datasets show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods for categorical data with large domains of unique attribute values.

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.
