gbanyan 2f05d6f0c9 Add Script 46: alert-rate sensitivity / threshold-plateau analysis
Spike addressing codex round-32 recommendation for plateau detection
diagnostic. Result: v3-inherited HC threshold (cos>0.95 AND dh<=5)
sits at high-gradient regions of the alert-rate surface (local/median
gradient ratio 25.5× for cos, 3.8× for dh) — locally sensitive,
not plateau-stable. Per codex round-33 review, this is corroborating
evidence for the no-natural-threshold finding (Scripts 39b-e remain
the primary proof); MC/HSC boundary dh=15 IS plateau-like (ratio
0.08) which means plateau finding applies to HC cutoff only.

Pooled doc-level deployed alert rate at v3 HC threshold = 62.28%
(vs Script 45's 17.97% inter-CPA proxy; 44pp gap framed as
"deployed-rate excess over inter-CPA proxy", NOT presumed TPR).

PDF Signature Extraction System

Automated extraction of handwritten Chinese signatures from PDF documents using hybrid VLM + Computer Vision approach.

Quick Start

Step 1: Extract Pages from CSV

cd /Volumes/NV2/pdf_recognize
source venv/bin/activate
python extract_pages_from_csv.py

Step 2: Extract Signatures

python extract_signatures_hybrid.py

Documentation

Current Performance

Test Dataset: 5 PDF pages

  • Signatures expected: 10
  • Signatures found: 7
  • Precision: 100% (no false positives)
  • Recall: 70%

Key Features

Hybrid Approach: VLM name extraction + CV detection + VLM verification Name-Based: Signatures saved as signature_周寶蓮.png No False Positives: Name-specific verification filters out dates, text, stamps Duplicate Prevention: Only one signature per person Handles Both: PDFs with/without text layer
