Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The National DNA Data Bank of Canada (NDDB) began operations on June 30, 2000 and started receiving convicted offender samples and crime scene DNA profiles. As of March 31, 2006, the NDDB has provided investigative leads in over 4,900 cases, matching DNA profiles from convicted offenders to DNA profiles from biological evidence from crime scenes. The cases assisted range from the simplest break and enter cases to some very complex high profile murder and sexual assault cases ranging in age from recent to cold cases over twenty-one years old. A history of the development of the NDDB is provided along with an update of its current activities. The NDDB has grown into a world-class forensic DNA data bank and continues to be innovative in developing new processes.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
