Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As cognitive models are developed that are meant to apply to a broad range of phenomena, it is necessary to evaluate how successfully they do so.This is commonly done by measures such as the Mean Squared Error.We propose and demonstrate an alternate approach based on a measure of statistical equivalence.Instead of using sample means, this method uses confidence intervals, and places an upper bound on how wrong the model may be, given the uncertainties in the data.We apply this to the RELACS model in various different repeated binary choice tasks.We show that the equivalence measure identifies ranges of canonical parameter settings that are equally equivalent.It also identifies experimental conditions that are not yet modelled well.

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.
