Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We describe an algorithm for compressing a partially ordered set, or \emph{poset}, so that it occupies space matching the information theory lower bound (to within lower order terms), in the worst case. Using this algorithm, we design a succinct data structure for representing a poset that, given two elements, can report whether one precedes the other in constant time. This is equivalent to succinctly representing the transitive closure graph of the poset, and we note that the same method can also be used to succinctly represent the transitive reduction graph. For an $n$ element poset, the data structure occupies $n^2/4 + o(n^2)$ bits, in the worst case, which is roughly half the space occupied by an upper triangular matrix. Furthermore, a slight extension to this data structure yields a succinct oracle for reachability in arbitrary directed graphs. Thus, using roughly a quarter of the space required to represent an arbitrary directed graph, reachability queries can be supported in constant time.

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.
