Issues in Canadian Geoscience. The Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences / Fédération Canadienne des Sciences de la Terre: 2008 Highlights
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian Geoscience Council (CGC) was reorganized into the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences/ Federation Canadienne des Sciences de la Terre (CFES/FCST) in the fall of 2006. This article highlights the activities of the new organization in 2008, the first year that real progress and renewal could be demonstrated. The organization aims to be the unified voice of earth science in Canada, using a multi-pronged approach along three lines: defragmentation of the Earth Science sector, outreach (to K-12 and the general public) and lobbying (to decision makers). We also published a Human Resources snapshot of our sector and are making progress toward creating one Canadian Geoscience Literature database. SOMMAIRE La Federation canadienne des sciences de la Terre (FCST), jadis le Canadian Geoscience Council en anglais a ete reorganise a l’automne 2006 et se presente dorenavant sous les appellations de Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences / Federation canadienne des Sciences de la Terre (CFES/FCST). L’article qui suit souligne les principales activites du nouvel organisme en 2008, une premiere annee de veritable progres et de renouvellement de la participation. Cet organisme entend etre « la » voix des geosciences au Canada en concentrant ses efforts en trois directions, soit : la defragmentation du secteur sciences de la Terre, la sensibilisation (niveau fin secondaire et grand public), le lobbyism (influence aupres des instances decisionnelles). Nous avons aussi publie un instantane des ressources humaines du secteur et progressons dans l’etablissement d’une base de donnees de la litterature geoscientifique canadienne.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
