An Evaluation on Ibrahim Madkur’s Critical Text Edition of Ibn Sīna’s Ash-Shifa’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ibn Sīnā is one of the prominent scholars in the Muslim scientific world. In the West, he is well known as Avicenna. As a polymath, he wrote many books in a broad range of sciences. Al-Qānūn fī aṭ-Tibb (the Canon of Medicine) and Kitāb Ash-Shifā’ (the Boook of Healing) are considered to be his magnum opuses. While the former is his greatest work on medicine, the latter is his monumental contribution to science and philosophy. Kitāb Ash-Shifā’ is concerned with four main subjects: logic (al-manṭiq), natural sciences (aṭ-ṭabi’iyāt), mathematics (ar-Riyaḍiyāt), and metaphysics or theology (al-Ilāhiyāt).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
