Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The vigorous reaction sparked by the Supreme Court's decision on June 9, 2005, in the case of Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General) — to permit private health insurance in Quebec[1][1] — gives reason for hope that the court may have resuscitated Canada's long-moribund discussion on the proper

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.
