Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several shocking instances of a sudden slaughter of innocent civilians by U.S. military personnel during past years have made the expression “going berserk” a common media and household term. Historically viewed, Berserkers were Norse warriors who battled, often naked, in an uncontrollable, trance-like bestial fury first mentioned in Haraldskvaedi, a late 9th century skaldic poem. “Baresark” may refer to a thin shirt made from a bear pelt. The combatants possibly ingested the stimulant-hallucinogen muscarine, a natural ingredient of some mushrooms, which causes a loss of inhibitions similar to the result of alcohol in vulnerable individuals. Today, berserk behavior is considered on the boundary between heroism and insanity. But substance dependence remains important. From 2000 to 2006, half of the homicides in Australia involved alcohol consumption (Australian Institute of Criminology, 2009), a statistic mirrored by data from the U.S. and Canada.

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.
