Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The CASCON High School Programming Competition was a Java-based challenge that encouraged high school students to discover the fun in computer science and information technology. In its fifth year, the CASCON High School Programming Competition, CodeSpy, attracted many schools from across the Greater Toronto region. In addition to the competition, two hands-on workshops were held concurrently for high school computer science educators by Troy Vasiga of the University of Waterloo and Steve Engels of the University of Toronto. Attendees developed and implemented interesting exercises that they could take with them for classroom use. In the afternoon, the teachers attended a workshop to promote "Programming Contest Central". This website was developed by Shad Valley students at IBM to provide Java programming resources to students and teachers.

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.
