Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping existing open-source models like DistilRoBERTa with TF-IDF and Logistic Regression is easy, but assembling and labeling a representative domain-specific dataset of economics preprints and AI variants requires specialized data collection and curation.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires Python/FastAPI, Hugging Face Transformers, and scikit-learn. The hard part is curating a verified, domain-specific evaluation and training corpus (e.g., matching NBER papers with counterfactual LLM rewrites) to calibrate classifier thresholds and minimize false positives on academic text. A practitioner needs knowledge of NLP fine-tuning and academic economics literature datasets.
