Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Hierarchical Dirichlet process is a discrete random measure serving as an important prior in Bayesian non-parametrics. It is motivated with the study of groups of clustered data. Each group is modelled through a level two Dirichlet process and all groups share the same base distribution which itself is a drawn from a level one Dirichlet process. It has two concentration parameters with one at each level. The main results of the paper are the law of large numbers and large deviations for the hierarchical Dirichlet process and its mass when both concentration parameters converge to infinity. The large deviation rate functions are identified explicitly. The rate function for the hierarchical Dirichlet process consists of two terms corresponding to the relative entropies at each level. It is less than the rate function for the Dirichlet process, which reflects the fact that the number of clusters under the hierarchical Dirichlet process has a slower growth rate than under the Dirichlet process.

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.
