Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Market patterns in the andalusite trade are likely to change next year because suppliers are fixing shorter contracts while demand is high and output is limited - prices are set to increase.Tightness in supply and higher prices will characterize the andalusite market throughout 2018 - availability is set to remain limited, forcing buyers to seek other sources of raw materials. With the broad balance between supply and demand in the sector over the past few years giving way to a shortage in 2017, consumers are concerned about security of future supply.Heavy rains at the start of this year in South Africa, the world’s largest producer, curtailed local output and exacerbated shortness prompted by flooding issues in Peru, the other main origin of the refractory mineral, in the first quarter. [...]of writing late in November, contracting activity from suppliers and buyers of the mineral seem to confirm this pattern. [...]andalusite selling was mostly settled through year-long contracts.

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.
