Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The number of asylum applications in the European Union has significantly increased in recent years, highlighting the need for effective decision‐making in the resettlement process. This research focuses on the refugee status and the resettlement process that transfers refugees from an asylum country to a receiving country. Integration plays a crucial role in the success of resettlement, benefiting both refugees and receiving countries. The priorities of receiving countries and the preferences of refugees also influence the assignment process. However, no comprehensive optimization framework exists that combines these dimensions for decision support. This study proposes a decision‐making system that incorporates integration potential, receiving countries' priorities, and refugees' preferences, considering quotas, and analyzing different scenarios. The system aims to aid organizations in making informed decisions and could be integrated into existing information systems. The research contributes to addressing the complex challenges of refugee resettlement and has potential societal impact.

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.
