Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Every national statistical agency should encourage statistical literacy in order to ensure ongoing support for the national statistical system. Statistics Canada does this through its exemplary programs in statistical education. Best known is its innovative Education Outreach Program that makes statistics interesting for young people, by educating teachers and students at the primary, secondary and postsecondary levels. Other programs include public education of respondents, online data users, aboriginal communities and journalists, as well as broad employee training and international technical support. The visionary work of educating the public, particularly young people, about the world of data will benefit statistical agencies in the long term.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
