Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The presence of well defined fine-grained sub-tasks is important to the development process: having a fine-grained task context has been shown to allow developers to more efficiently resume work. However, determining how to break a high level task down into sub-tasks is not always straightforward. Sometimes developers lack experience, and at other times, the task definition is not clear enough to afford confident decomposition. In my research I intend to show that by using syntactic mining of past task descriptions and their decomposition, I can provide automatically derived sub-task suggestions to afford more confident task decomposition by developers.

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.
