Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I am sitting in a bar on Seventh Avenue in Chelsea. I am being interviewed by a writer for Time magazine. It is the middle of the day and I am drinking wine. He has coffee. I am being interviewed because I have written a play about slavery in Montreal that is about to open in New York and Detroit and I have the dubious honour of being not only the most produced Canadian playwright in the United States that month but one of the first black Canadian playwrights to be commercially produced off-Broadway. The interview is not going well, nor are the rehearsals for the New York run.

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.
