Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT The objective of these teaching notes is to provide an outline for offering blockchain related foundational knowledge to accounting students so they can evaluate and prepare for the effect of blockchain on the accounting profession. The approach is driven by the following principle: Given that accounting students do not want to become programmers or cryptographers, what is the essential blockchain knowledge that they need to know? Based on my own teaching and research experience, I propose and explain how I use a combination of storytelling and scaffolding approach to focus on the delivery of the following topics: (1) why study blockchain? (2) general foundational knowledge (i.e., element of complete transactions and double spending), (3) interactive exercises to explain technical knowledge on topics such as hashing and proof-of-work (mining), and (4) blockchain implementation in a supply chain setting.

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.
