Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Immigration has been an important factor in the development and growth of Canada. Since 1867, nearly 15 million people from around the world have settled in Canadian communities Whether seeking freedom from oppression, desiring better economic opportunities, or reuniting with family members, immigrants continue to come to Canada to improve their lives, raise their children and fulfill their dreams. So what are Canadian public libraries doing to respond to the rich diversity of the Canadian population? This article seeks to highlight a number of public libraries across the country that are working to ensure that the needs of multicultural groups are being addressed, and helping new Canadians to adjust to life in a new country.

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.
