gbanyan 4c3bcfa288 Add Gemini 3.1 Pro round-20 independent peer review artifact
paper/gemini_review_v3_19_0.md: 45 lines (cleaned from raw output that
included CLI 429 retry noise). Gemini round-20 confirmed all four
round-19 Major Revision findings are RESOLVED in v3.19.0:

- 656-document exclusion explanation: VERIFIED-AGAINST-ARTIFACT
  (matches 09_pdf_signature_verdict.py L44 filtering logic).
- Table XIII provenance: VERIFIED-AGAINST-ARTIFACT (deterministically
  reproduced by new 29_firm_a_yearly_distribution.py).
- 2-CPA disambiguation rewrite: VERIFIED-AGAINST-ARTIFACT (matches the
  NULL filter in 24_validation_recalibration.py).
- Inter-CPA negative anchor: VERIFIED-AGAINST-ARTIFACT (50k i.i.d.
  pairs from full 168k matched corpus, no LIMIT-3000 sub-sample).

Verdict: Accept. "None required. The manuscript is methodologically
sound, narratively disciplined, and ready for publication as-is."

This is the first Accept verdict in the 20-round cycle that comes
directly after a Major Revision (round 19) was fully processed. Prior
Accepts (round 7 Gemini, round 15 Gemini) were both later overturned by
codex on independent re-audit. The current state has the strongest
evidence base in the cycle: 4 distinct artifact verifications behind
each previously fabricated claim.

Remaining UNVERIFIABLE-but-acceptable items (758 CPAs / 15 doc types,
Qwen2.5-VL config, YOLO metrics, 43.1 docs/sec throughput) are now
classified by Gemini as "non-critical context" — supplement-material
candidates but not main-paper review blockers.

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
