Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The legal treatment of collections of factual information presents problems for the law of copyright. There are three main problems for law-makers charged with revising protections : little economic analysis of existing or possible models; loss of access to data and markets due to maintaining proprietary interests; and a greater explicit acceptance of unfair competition doctrine as a result of the implementation of sui generis proprietary rights. Notwithstanding these difficulties, and a dispiriting lack of momentum towards harmonized legal treatment of databases at the international level, the protection of databases is very much on the agenda in the revision of the Canadian Copyright Act and difficult decisions will have to be taken soon . Canadian law-makers could benefit from the valuable lessons learned in the context of the European two-tiered approach to the protection of original and unoriginal databases.

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.
