Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inductive generalization (i.e., validation of general claims based on empirical evidence) is a critical method in science that is also notoriously difficult to justify. In particular, induction is not required to test honestly produced claims. We examine the role of induction in an economic model where agents may strategically misrepresent what they know. Our main result shows that induction is required to test and potentially reject expert’s claims. This result provides an economic argument for induction based on incentive problems. ∗We thank Wojciech Olszewski, Eran Shmaya, Marciano Siniscalchi and Rakesh Vohra for some useful discussions, as well as seminar audiences at the Canadian Economic Theory Conference 2012, the Fifth Transatlantic Theory Workshop, the Summer meeting of the Econometric Society 2012, XIII Latin American Workshop in Economic Theory, Jolate conference in Bogota and the Washington University seminar series.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
