Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The complexities of routing freight through the crowded Northeast corridor to serve the densely populated six states that make up New England are being tackled by rail lines' decision to cooperate and piece together routes over a network that is divided among a few big players and some 30 short lines. Because the more logical route, the one along the coast, is crowded with passenger and commuter traffic that forces freights off to sidings to accommodate business and pleasure travelers, the freight operators shift to different routes. CSX has a 197-mile line from Albany, NY, to Boston. Worcester, 44 miles west of Boston, is a major intermodal hub for containers, mainly from Asia. Norfolk Southern has no track of its own and so partners with local carriers. To the north, CN and CP are competing for Canadian business. Competition and incentive routing create ever- changing alliances and route structures to more freight swiftly into and out of the region.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

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.
