Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite the sub-language nature of taxonomic descriptions of animals and plants, researchers have warned about the existence of large variations among different description collections in terms of information content and its representation. These variations impose a serious threat to the development of automatic tools to structure large volumes of text-based descriptions. This paper presents a general approach to mark up different collections of taxonomic descriptions with XML, using two large-scale floras as examples. The markup system, MARTT, is based on machine learning methods and enhanced by machine learned domain rules and conventions. Experiments show that our simple and efficient machine learning algorithms outperform significantly general purpose algorithms and that rules learned from one flora can be used when marking up a second flora and help to improve the markup performance, especially for elements that have sparse training examples.Malgré la nature de sous-langage des descriptions taxinomiques des animaux et des plantes, les chercheurs reconnaissent l’existence de vastes variations parmi différentes collections de descriptions, en termes de contenu informationnel et de leur représentation. Ces variations présentent une menace sérieuse pour le développement d’outils automatiques pour la structuration de larges…

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.
