Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We thank the journal for this opportunity to respond to the issues raised by P. Huhtanen and A. N. Hristov in their letter to the editor (Huhtanen and Hristov, 2018). We hope this response will resolve a persistent misunderstanding that is also reflected in the statement by Hammond et al. (2016): “… the need for high throughput methodology, e.g. for screening large numbers of animals for genomic studies, does not in itself justify the use of methods that are inaccurate, imprecise, or biased.” In this response, we will clarify that even if measurements are inaccurate, imprecise, or biased, they might provide valuable information for selective breeding.

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.
