Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent and authoritative reports from the US, Canada and the United Kingdom question many types of forensic science and medicine evidence used routinely in criminal proceedings across the common law world. This article reviews recent reports produced by the National Academy of Sciences (US), the National Institute of Standards & Technology and National Institute of Justice (US), Lord Campbell in Scotland, and Justice Goudge in Ontario, in order to assess their implications for expert evidence and legal practice in Australia. The article suggests that Australian legal institutions have not performed well in response to forensic science and medicine evidence and remain largely oblivious to serious epistemic infirmities.

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.

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.
