Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Airlines profitability increasingly depends on the sale of ancillary items such as seat selection, baggage fees, etc. The modeling of ancillary items is becoming more important in the analytics literature. Much of the modeling is stylized and not immediately applicable. This paper contains a review of the approaches and modeling assumptions made in the literature. The focus is on the assumptions made so that models may be evaluated for how effective they are for applications and to highlight gaps in the literature.

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.
