Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) is a remote sensing technique that enables field observation and investigation of embedded near‐surface objects, structural discontinuities, and other material heterogeneities. GPR is commonly used to detect embedded targets of interest (objects and structures) with varying material properties, geometries, and depths. Various scientific and commercial applications of GPR exist to identify soil and geologic characteristics, metallic objects, buried artifacts, and even tree roots. GPR antennae send electromagnetic energy in waves into various media, such as soil, rock, concrete, asphalt, and ice, and receive energy reflected from embedded targets or materials that absorb and redirect electromagnetic energy. The data obtained are rendered in a two‐dimensional radargram image, where the horizontal and vertical location of reflector features is represented in an upright‐oriented profile. GPR is most likely to identify targets accurately when the scanning medium is relatively homogeneous; complex subsurface media can challenge successful detection. Evolving data processing methods, informed by simulations and even artificial intelligence, may improve interpretation accuracy in challenging scanning contexts.

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.
