Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Magic squares are known to mankind since ages. With their eye catching properties, they have attracted and inspired researchers to further explore and work with them. The present paper is written with an aim to explore the usefulness of magic squares in the construction of partially balanced incomplete block (PBIB) designs. In this regard, we have proposed a new method for the construction of magic squares and studied their properties. We have also established a link between these properties and some existing association schemes. We have then introduced four new association schemes using these properties which have been later used for the construction of PBIB designs.

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.
