Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As a primary supplier of information and research of importance and value to the public, the government’s activity in doing so must be subject to scrutiny. This paper examines access to information under the government’s control within the context of the current United States presidential administration. After providing an overview of access to information, the paper moves to a discussion of current issues, highlighted by actions taken by the Trump administration. Of particular interest are the removal of information from government websites and gag orders or other restrictions imposed on government agencies. These have led to a lack of transparency as well as concerns regarding the authority and reliability of government data. In these ways, the Trump administration has limited and significantly harmed access to information. The paper also makes connections to larger information policy concerns, ending with a discussion of ways to promote access to government information.

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.
