Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract People adjust their vocabulary, sounds, and syntax depending upon who they are speaking to and the circumstances of the conversation. For instance, sales representatives talk about “automobiles” in the showroom but about “cars” with their neighbors, and they enunciate when reporting to their managers in ways that would seem stilted if they spoke that way to their friends after work. Such adjustments are linguistically subtle and socially meticulous and largely automatic. They are not taught or consciously learned, but are part of the innate linguistic competence of all normal people.

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.
