# Global Layoffs & Workforce Interpreter
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
**Author:** Hussein Adeiza (mabera)
|
| 18 |
+
**Role:** Licensed Environmental Health Officer, Abuja Nigeria
|
| 19 |
+
**Base Model:** Mixtral 8x7B
|
| 20 |
+
**Fine-tuned with:** AutoScientist by Adaption Labs
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
## Model Description
|
| 23 |
+
A LoRA adapter fine-tuned to interpret real global tech layoffs data,
|
| 24 |
+
producing structured analytical reasoning grounded entirely in
|
| 25 |
+
directly-downloaded statistics from a real tracked dataset (layoffs.fyi).
|
| 26 |
+
This submission completes all 7 categories of the AutoScientist
|
| 27 |
+
Challenge 2026 Part 2.
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
## A Note on Subject Matter
|
| 30 |
+
This dataset addresses real workforce reductions affecting real
|
| 31 |
+
people's livelihoods. All interpretation stays measured and analytical,
|
| 32 |
+
including honest disclosure of data limitations (missing figures,
|
| 33 |
+
likely reporting bias) rather than overstating confidence in the
|
| 34 |
+
underlying figures.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
## Training Data
|
| 37 |
+
- Source: layoffs.fyi tracked data, accessed via a properly-cited
|
| 38 |
+
GitHub repository, downloaded directly, 2,361 real company entries
|
| 39 |
+
(2020-2023)
|
| 40 |
+
- Dataset: 5 original prompt-completion pairs, every number computed
|
| 41 |
+
via pandas directly from the raw source file, expanded via Adaptive
|
| 42 |
+
Data (no recipe modifications, full 20K+ datapoint expansion)
|
| 43 |
+
- Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/yunusahusseinadeiza/global-layoffs-and-workforce-interpreter
|
| 44 |
+
|
| 45 |
+
## Training Metrics
|
| 46 |
+
- **Win rate (on dataset): 70% adapted vs 30% base model**
|
| 47 |
+
- Base model: mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
|
| 48 |
+
- Method: LoRA, no recipe modifications
|
| 49 |
+
- Dataset quality: 8.0 → 8.6 (+7.5% relative improvement, Grade B)
|
| 50 |
+
- Percentile: 31.5
|
| 51 |
+
- Domain classification: Data-analysis-visualization (60%) / Market-
|
| 52 |
+
analysis (20%) / Corporate-business (20%), not a clean HR match;
|
| 53 |
+
disclosed here as this submission was intended for the HR category
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
## Key Cited Findings (from the raw downloaded source only)
|
| 56 |
+
- Global tracked layoffs followed a non-monotonic trend: 81,068 in
|
| 57 |
+
2020 (COVID shock), falling to 15,823 in 2021 (recovery), then
|
| 58 |
+
rising to 161,711 in 2022 and 127,277 in the first quarter of 2023
|
| 59 |
+
alone
|
| 60 |
+
- Funding raised shows almost no correlation with layoff scale
|
| 61 |
+
(r = 0.077 across 1,491 companies with complete data), challenging
|
| 62 |
+
the intuitive assumption that better-funded companies cut more
|
| 63 |
+
- Post-IPO (mature, publicly-traded) companies account for 53.1% of
|
| 64 |
+
total tracked layoffs, likely reflecting company scale rather than
|
| 65 |
+
instability
|
| 66 |
+
- Roughly a third of entries (31.3% missing headcount, 33.2% missing
|
| 67 |
+
percentage) lack key figures, meaning aggregate totals are
|
| 68 |
+
conservative lower bounds, not precise counts
|
| 69 |
+
- The dataset's heavy US concentration (66% of the geographic total)
|
| 70 |
+
most likely reflects reporting bias in the underlying tracker toward
|
| 71 |
+
English-language tech media, not a true global distribution
