Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Speech-based user interfaces and, in particular, voice-activated digital assistants are gaining popularity. Assistants provide their users with an opportunity for hands-free interaction, and present an additional accessibility level for people who are blind. According to prior research, informational searches form a noticeable fraction of user interactions with the assistants. All major commercially available assistants handle factoid questions well by providing an answer that is quick, concise, and to-the-point. However, for complex information seeking intents, when a deeper exploration and multi-turn interaction may be required, the assistants often do not produce the desired results.

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.
