Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A key result of the recent legalization of gambling in many countries has been the massive proliferation of its types and venues. This has resulted in the increasing view of gambling as a “social problem,” that is, as having considerable adverse social consequences. One such consequence has been pathological (problem) gambling, that is, the irresponsible and irrepressible obsession with gambling. Key behavioral and psychological disorders associated with it include depression, suicide, substance abuse, and crime. Physical injuries related to it include enuresis, encoprisis, repetitive strain injury, photosensitive epilepsy, increased risk of obesity, and hand and arm vibration syndrome. Serious nature of these consequences has made gambling a central concern of governmental and academic research. The aim has been the introduction of effective methods of prevention, intervention, and treatment.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
