Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

processes, degree of community engagement, the level of community capacity building, and researchers respect for cultural and intellectual property.The QAT provides a four-point criterion scale (Yes, Partially, No, Unclear).To aid users, the QAT authors created a companion document that describes each of the fourteen items and how to assess whether studies meet specified criteria [2].The QAT is open access and intended for use alongside other suitable critical appraisal tools that prioritize the rigour of study design and methodology [1].

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.

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.
