Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

<ul> <li>Many scientists and health professionals consider that scientific evidence that supports front-of-pack nutrition labelling, such as ‘Nutri-Score’, becomes mandatory in Europe to help consumers make healthier choices at the point of purchase.</li> <li>Politicians and political parties, food manufacturers and some agricultural sectors are opposed to nutrition labelling such as ‘Nutri-Score’ as they claim that scientific studies insufficiently support making it into a policy.</li> <li>The findings of 83% of studies published in peer-reviewed journals support nutrition labelling such as ‘Nutri-Score’.</li> <li>The probability for an article to show results that are not favourable to nutrition labelling such as ‘Nutri-Score’ is 21 times higher if the authors declare a conflict of interest or if the study is funded by the food industry.</li> </ul>

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
