Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Increasing numbers of women are entering medicine. In 1959, women accounted for 6% of medical school graduates, compared with 44% in 1989.[1][1] The most recent data from the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS)[2][2] demonstrate that women have gained equity in numbers in Canadian medical

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.
