Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I'm part of the "Covid Cohort", one of hundreds of thousands of Masters students who suddenly found their course cut short one day in March, just like my godson who didn't get to finish his BTEC, my niece her undergraduate degree or my friend's daughter, her GCSEs or even go to her prom. I'm lucky in that I'm a part-time student, so at least I (should) get to go back in September, but everyone else on my course was full-time, so I may never see them again. Over a half were international, some already too late to get home to Iran or China, and so became stuck on campus, with no part-time jobs or facilities. Those who got back to Canada or Poland in time had to self-isolate away from their families for two weeks after they landed. Meanwhile we all try to finish assignments, revising, listen to pre-recorded lectures and write dissertations, whilst worrying about what Covid-19 means to our families and our futures.

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.
