Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Many problems in program verification, Model Checking, and type inference are naturally expressed as satisfiability of a verification condition expressed in a fragment of First-Order Logic called Constrained Horn Clauses (CHC). This transforms program analysis and verification tasks to the realm of first order satisfiability and into the realm of SMT solvers. In this paper, we give a brief overview of how CHCs capture verification problems for sequential imperative programs, and discuss CHC solving algorithm underlying the Spacer engine of SMT-solver Z3.

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.
