Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing global threat, associated with 4.71 million deaths yearly. If we do not take action to reduce this, the current trend will continue towards a sobering 8.22 million associated deaths in 2050 [1]. In light of this global emergency, we need to re-evaluate the bacteriology diagnostics landscape, emphasizing global availability and accessibility. Resistant bacterial infections have the highest death toll in sub-Saharan Africa and are frequently inappropriately treated [2].

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.
