Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Sometimes in literature, less is more. Sadly, unlike fiction, for strengthening our understanding of the epidemiology of infectious diseases we need to uncover as much of the seven-eighths of the iceberg that is under water as possible. Traditionally, we have tended to focus on studying more severe disease cases resulting in deaths and hospitalisations because these pose substantial burden on health-care services and the economy.1 However, as has been shown in the past year with SARS-CoV-2, it is important to also look at asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases of infectious diseases to understand disease transmission, immunity, and the natural history of disease, including sequelae.

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.
