Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis proposes a framework for software customization founded on goal analysis. Goals are used to represent and analyse user needs. The elementary result of the analysis is a goal model consisting of qualitative relationships among goals. The thesis first establishes that the structure of goal models defines a space of alternative customizations, each representing a particular way for fulfilling top-level goals. Then we consider user skills and preferences as descriptions of user variability. We adopt a metric-based dependency between these two variables and the alternatives, in a way that each valuation of the former (a particular user) implies a suitability value for each of the latter. We examine how each alternative may relate to a software design and consequently to a variant of the “end-product”. We support these ideas with examples from a case study that conserns an integrated communication system for people with cognitive, sensory or motor impairments.

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.
