- - **Consensus keep rate:** 116,793 of 354,163 scanned CVEs reach consensus (~33%); most drops are "no consensus" (sources disagreed, or only one assigned a CWE).
95
- - **Balanced/capped build:** majority CWEs are then capped at **2,500 examples** each, reducing the 116,793 consensus rows to the **69,386 published rows** (train 55,810 / val 6,774 / test 6,802). This drops the top-10 label share from ~55% to **~31.5%**; all 117 labels appear in every split. The pre-cap natural distribution remains in this repo's git history (and is reproducible with `max_examples_per_cwe: null`).

60
+
61
+ This `v3` revision is re-weighted to train models on the cases they actually fail
62
+ (inferring the CWE when the description does not name the weakness), and to evaluate
63
+ them honestly. Changes vs. the previous revision:
64
+
65
+ - **Low-information filter:** bare impact-title descriptions ("`<Product> <Impact>
66
+ Vulnerability`") that name no mechanism are dropped (~1.5% of rows; the CWE is
67
+ not derivable from the text).
68
+ - **Hard-weighted training cap, train split only:** when a common CWE exceeds the
69
+ per-class cap (lowered to **1,500**), the **train** split keeps inference-"hard"
70
+ rows (weakness not named) over easy lexical-match rows. **Validation/test are
71
+ capped without this weighting**, so they keep real-world prevalence — train is
72
+ ~20% lexical-easy, val/test ~44%. Evaluate on the stratified easy/hard numbers.
73
+ - **69 reviewed label corrections:** gold labels that two independent models flagged
74
+ and a human confirmed against the MITRE CWE definition (e.g. a CSRF labeled XSS,
75
+ an SSRF labeled "improper encoding") override the computed consensus.
76
+
77
+ Models trained on the previous revision were trained on the un-reweighted data.
