Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The removal of US sanctions on producer Rusal has added strength to Alcoa's forecast of a surplus in alumina in 2019.United States-based Alcoa, the world’s eighth-largest aluminium producer, has forecast that there will be a surplus of alumina in 2019 while it increases aluminium metal shipments. Fastmarkets’ alumina index will be used in a basket of prices to settle contracts on the London Metal Exchange, the exchange announced in January. 2018 supply squeeze In March 2018, Hydro’s Alunorte refinery was forced to reduce its output by 50% in line with state environmental concerns. The current alumina price of less than $400 per tonne reflects this, and we see a potential restart from the second quarter onward, with a return of 3 million tpy putting pressure on marginal Chinese producers,” BMO Capital Markets analyst Kash Kamal said.

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.
