Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There are several contact tracing solutions, some are for closed user groups, some are for the residents of a country, and some are open solutions with no clear boundary defined. These independent solutions are not adequate to support pre-pandemic global mobility. Ideally, what is needed is a global solution that can support decentralized control over data and at the same time support proximity data exchange among Apps developed by different vendors and for different countries. This paper proposes a family of contact tracing designs with low-risk anonymity that includes a centralized design, a distributed design, and a federated design for global solution.

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.
