Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract—Through the construction of a simple mock visual programming language (VPL) editor, this study compares two different styles of touchscreen interface and demonstrates the natural fit between touch input and visual programming. The touchscreen removes a layer of indirection introduced by the mouse and allows for a more direct relationship—literally “hands on”—with the objects on the screen. The addition of “multi-touch ” also opens up intriguing possibilities for two-handed, immersive interfaces, with the potential for greater efficiencies than possible with the mouse’s single point of interaction. Keywords-Touchscreens; visual programming; bimanual; user interfaces; kinaesthetic feedback I.

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.
