Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores the main stages of developing an interpretable machine learning (ML) model for predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR), highlighting the importance of model interpretability in enhancing the prediction performance. By integrating phenotype-genotype synergy, our goal is to better understand AMR mechanisms. Such an approach combines ML with biological insights, offering a pathway towards more reliable AMR predictions and advancing the discovery of effective treatments against resistant pathogens. The challenges and opportunities related to incorporating this synergy into an ML model are discussed.

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.
