Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The degree matrix of a graph is the diagonal matrix with diagonal entries equal to the degrees of the vertices of $X$. If $X_1$ and $X_2$ are graphs with respective adjacency matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ and degree matrices $D_1$ and $D_2$, we say that $X_1$ and $X_2$ are \textsl{degree similar} if there is an invertible real matrix $M$ such that $M^{-1}A_1M=A_2$ and $M^{-1}D_1M=D_2$. If graphs $X_1$ and $X_2$ are degree similar, then their adjacency matrices, Laplacian matrices, unsigned Laplacian matrices and normalized Laplacian matrices are similar. We first show that the converse is not true. Then, we provide a number of constructions of degree-similar graphs. Finally, we show that the matrices $A_1-\mu D_1$ and $A_2-\mu D_2$ are similar over the field of rational functions $\mathbb{Q}(\mu)$ if and only if the Smith normal forms of the matrices $tI-(A_1-\mu D_1)$ and $tI-(A_2-\mu D_2)$ are equal.

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.
