Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Today, over 5 billion people interact with each other in online communities, ranging from social networking sites to web forums, from video game chats to website comment sections. In most cases these communities eanble participants to connect and communicate with each other in healthy ways – sharing, learning, and befriending each other. Unfortunately, some of these interactions become harmful, and devolve into virulent fights, trolling, cyberbullying, and worse. The most common methods for dealing with harmful messages are through human moderators, keyword filters, and user reports, but these methods all have inherent limitations. In this talk, we will explore how new AI tools, such as community modeling and predictive moderation, can be developed to keep online communities safe and healthy.

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.
