Model Card: Arxiv AI User Preference Classifier

Application Link

Demo Space: Link to Arxiv AI App Demo Space (e.g., Hugging Face Space)

Model Details

Item	Description
Model ID	`arxiv-preference-classifier-zzd-jch` (Placeholder)
Model Type	Binary Text Classifier / Preference Model (e.g., fine-tuned BERT/RoBERTa)
Model Creators	Zachary Zdobinski and Je Choi
Intended Use	This classifier predicts user interest (Like/Dislike) in an Arxiv paper, which then activates the core recommendation engine. It is designed to rank or classify Arxiv paper abstracts/metadata based on user-specific preference data for a personalized AI application.
Base Model	[Information Needed: e.g., bert-base-uncased, RoBERTa-large, custom architecture]

Intended Uses

This classifier is the trigger mechanism for the personalized recommendation engine within the Arxiv AI application.

Core Recommendation Engine Activation

After the user has liked at least one paper, the core recommendation engine is activated when they click the "Save Ratings and Get More Papers" button. By navigating to the Automated Bert Recommendation tab, this classifier's prediction (the "Like" action) is used to analyze the vector embeddings of the liked papers to understand the user's emerging interests. It then generates a new, more refined list of ten papers based on a sophisticated 70/30 split:

70% "Exploitation" recommendations: Chosen for their high cosine similarity to the user's selections and representing topics the system is confident the user will like.
30% "Exploration" recommendations: Purposefully selected from related fields to introduce novelty and prevent the user's search from becoming too narrow.

This new list is enhanced with transparent justifications; each paper card now includes a "Reason for Recommendation" tag, with messages like "Recommended because you liked 'Attention Is All You Need'" for exploitation picks, or "Exploratory pick from the related field of Computational Linguistics" for exploration ones. This entire process is a continuous loop, allowing the user to progressively refine their recommendations with each interaction.

Out-of-Scope Use: Should not be used for general-purpose text classification outside the domain of Arxiv papers, for non-English text, or for making critical, high-stakes decisions.

Training Data

The model was trained on a proprietary dataset of user preference data collected by Zachary Zdobinski and Je Choi for the Arxiv AI application.

Training Examples	480
Validation Examples	80
Test Examples	43
Dataset Size	916.86 KB

Data Fields

Feature Name	Data Type	Description
`label`	`int64`	The target variable. $1$ for 'interested' (liked), $0$ for 'not interested' (disliked/ignored).
`combined_text`	`string`	The input feature used for prediction, a concatenation of the Arxiv paper title, abstract, and user id.
`__index_level_0__`	`int64`	Original index from the source data (non-essential for training).

Evaluation

Evaluation was performed on the test set of 43 examples at epoch 9.0.

Metric	Result
Loss	0.3740845
Accuracy	0.75
F1 Score	0.7422680412371134
Precision	0.7659574468085106
Recall	0.72
Runtime (seconds)	6.025
Epoch	9.0

Area Under the Curve (AUC)

Metric	Value	Interpretation
AUC Score	0.84	The classifier shows good discriminatory skill (well above a random guess of 0.5 and approaching a perfect score of 1.0). It has a good ability to rank a random positive example higher than a random negative example.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Bias from Data: The model is inherently biased toward the specific preference patterns of the two data creators, Zachary Zdobinski and Je Choi. It will not generalize well to other users without further fine-tuning or a multi-user context.
Domain Limitation: Performance is expected to degrade significantly on documents outside the topical distribution of the Arxiv papers used in the original data collection.
Generalization: The model size is relatively small (603 total examples), which may lead to overfitting and poor generalization to truly novel Arxiv papers.
