Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The performances of general and Arabic search engines were compared based on their ability to retrieve morphologically related Arabic terms. The findings highlight the importance of making users aware of what they miss by using the general engines, underscoring the need to modify these engines to better handle Arabic queries.Nous avons comparé la performance de moteurs de recherches généraux et arabes en fonction de leur capacité à repérer des termes arabes morphologiquement reliés. Les résultats mettent en évidence l’importance de sensibiliser les usagers sur ce qu’ils manquent en utilisant des moteurs de recherche généraux et soulignent le besoin de modifier ces moteurs pour obtenir un meilleur traitement des requêtes arabes.

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.
