Bellwether Analysis: Predicting Global Aggregates from Local Regions

Summary: Bellwether analysis for predicting global aggregates from local regions by learning from query-defined labels on partially labeled data. It uses small, cost-efficient bellwether subsets to project those labels onto future data without re-labelling the entire corpus. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
