Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cognitive deficits are a critical concern in major depressive disorder (MDD), affecting learning, memory (short- and long-term), attention, concentration, executive function, and processing speed [1]. These impairments significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life [2]. Treatment options remain limited, as most interventions primarily target mood symptoms rather than cognitive dysfunction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a promising treatment for MDD, with evidence suggesting it can enhance working memory and processing speed in both healthy individuals and clinical populations [3,4].

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.
