Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Surveys were conducted to determine if there is a problem with motorists determining the direction indicated by traffic light signal arrows. Canadian optometrists were asked if their patients report this problem during a visual examination. Drivers were queried about difficulty with the arrows and under what circumstances the difficulties occurred. Traffic engi­neers were requested to comment on the use of traffic light arrows in their jurisdictions and whether or not they perceive a problem with visibility. The results indicate that many Canadians, and Manitobans in particular, reported difficulty with the arrows.

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.
