Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Light rail transit could be the solution in many North American cities that don't have the population and ridership of full rapid transit, but that want something more than buses. The success of the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) is profiled, which was ahead of ridership projections after only two years of operation. Diesel light rail transit has become popular in cities that would like rail transit, but where the budget cannot accommodate the cost of a double track and electrification. Ottawa's O-Train and the New Jersey Transit's River Line are successful examples of the diesel light rail transit.

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.
