Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) convened a panel to create a position paper for the investigation of pediatric deaths due to suspected inflicted head trauma. The certification of both the cause and manner of death is dependent upon an evaluation of all available data including information derived from the investigation, scene, postmortem examination, and ancillary studies. This paper provides the forensic pathologist with a comprehensive review for the postmortem examination of infants and toddlers who have died or have apparently died of inflicted head trauma. Specifically, this paper describes (1) procedures, (2) ancillary laboratory tests, and (3) forms of documentation that may be important in the investigation of these deaths. Some of these techniques are highly specialized and are performed at the discretion of the prosector. The evaluation and documentation of such fatalities involves the production of a reviewable, objective data set to support the multitude of inquiries that may follow from the public and the criminal justice system.

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.

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.
