Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Categorical explanatory variables can be included in models via the use of dummy variables. In a regression model with an intercept, K − 1 linearly independent dummy variables must be defined to represent a K level categorical variable. Indicator variables are commonly used to define a set of dummy variables. In a regression model with an intercept, indicators are derived for K − 1 of the K possible levels and the remaining level is the referent or baseline category. Overall tests regarding the categorical variable will not depend on the choice of dummy variable definitions. However, the interpretation of the coefficient for each dummy variable will depend on the coding used.

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.
