Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- A held-out test on the readings accepted since 2018 places them in a model's top 20.
- The Anyang reviewers accept a reading whose candidate was first proposed by a model.
What would rule it out
- Held-out tests on accepted readings score at or below the EVOBC baseline of 16.7 percent top-1.
- Five years of competitions produce no accepted model-proposed reading.
