Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite the potential value of image-based tools, and the fact that self-reported functional status has been shown to be reliable and have predictive validity, few visual-based assessment tools, or mixed-modality tools incorporating pictograms, for function exist. The main objectives were to 1) Explore the potential benefit of visual based tools (i.e., pictograms) for the use of self-assessment tools; 2) Present methods for co-designing clinical pictograms with older adults; and, 3) Discuss the prospect of using pictograms for self-assessment tools and discuss the prospect of using pictograms for self-assessment tools. From an accessibility perspective, the use of visuals may be particularly beneficial in individuals, like older adults, that have accessibility needs, such as cognitive impairment. The development of pictograms to measure a concept requires careful consideration to ensure the graphical representational aligns with the intended meaning, which is context dependent. The development of pictograms for self-administered functional assessments tools may increase the accessibility and ease of use of self-assessment tools for older adults, given the limitations of current text-based tools.

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. 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.
