Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Air pollution, acknowledged as the paramount environmental risk to health by the World Health Organization (WHO), presents a substantial and intricate global public health challenge. This challenge emanates from the emission of toxic particles and gases, inducing severe health and developmental adversities while concurrently serving as a notable driver of climate change. Despite the escalating threats, contemporary surveillance ecosystems encounter limitations in effectively monitoring both indoor and outdoor air pollution levels, particularly in delivering timely alerts for individuals at heightened risk.Existing air pollution alert systems presently rely on ecological data derived from outdoor air quality monitoring stations. However, this methodology constrains the capacity to monitor individual-level exposure and provide personalized recommendations for mitigation or adaptation. The integration of machine learning (ML) emerges as a transformative solution, facilitating advanced projections, monitoring, modeling, and assessment of air quality. Leveraging sensor data, ML empowers informed, evidence-based decision-making, thereby presenting a substantial opportunity for innovation and enhancement in the realm of air pollution management.

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.
