Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Access to individual-level health data is going to be critical for managing the COVID-19 pandemic and enabling society to return to some form of (new) normal functioning. Broader data access is already starting to happen. At the same time, there has been growing alarm by the privacy community about the extent and manner of the level of data sharing that is going on with such sensitive information. In South Korea, broad data sharing has already resulted in some patients being reidentified and experiencing judgment and ridicule,1,2and some governments have begun to reduce the amount of information being shared about COVID-19 cases.3-8Data synthesis can provide a solution by enabling access to useful information while ensuring reasonable privacy protections.

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.
