Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Using the application programming interfaces (API) of large software systems requires developers to understand details about the interfaces that are often not explicitly defined. However, documentation about the API is often incomplete or out of date. Existing systems that make use of the API provide a form of implicit information on how to use that code. Manually searching through existing projects to find relevant source code is tedious and time consuming. We have created the Strathcona Example.Recommendation Tool to assist developers in finding relevant fragments of code, or examples, of an API's use. These examples can be used by developers to provide insight on how they are supposed to interact with the API.

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.
