Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Debugging and analyzing a snapshot of a crashed program's memory is far more difficult than working with a live program, because debuggers can no longer execute code to help make sense of the program state. We present an architecture that supports the restricted execution of ordinary code starting from the snapshot, as if the dead objects within it had been restored, but without access to their original external environment. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach via an implementation for Java that does not require a custom virtual machine, show that it performs competitively with live execution, and use it to diagnose an unresolved memory leak in a mature mainstream application.

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.
