Metis : an integrated reference architecture for addressing uncertainty in decision-support systems:
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Deliver “actionable” intelligence instead of just raw information – this is what the Metis research project pursues for supporting operational work in domains characterized by constantly evolving situations with a diversity of entities, complex interactions and high-level uncertainty in the information gathered. Operating effectively in such domains requires robust, on-the-fly and context-based information reasoning, which goes beyond human capabilities.In this paper a real-time reference architecture is presented employing and integrating several state-of-the-art computing technologies for automated and consolidated ‘situational understanding’. In particular, outlined are the innovative components (i) for fusing of and reasoning on uncertain information based on probabilistic logic and (ii) for a complementary interactive visualization disclosing the system’s line of reasoning inferred from the domain model and provided evidence. The architecture has been realized as a fully demonstrable proof of concept and its applied value is illustrated in a number of real and fictive cases from the domain of maritime safety and security.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
