Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As librarians whose roles focus on teaching, we aim to provide meaningful and equitable learning experiences for all students, including students with disabilities. However, as is the case for many librarians, there is an overwhelmingly one-time nature to our interactions with students. Our instruction sessions are usually “one-shots” and, while in our research consultations we may see some students repeatedly, most often we will only see them once or twice in a semester. The often-one-time nature of our work means that we have limited information about the needs of our students, and few opportunities to meaningfully assess students’ learning experiences. As such, it is challenging to determine how accessible our teaching is, both in the classroom and in our research consultations.

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.

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.
