Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Hierarchical ways of managing government are no longer relevant in an information intensive world. Information technology can provide the means to transform governments into more responsive and accountable organizations. However, despite significant investments in information technology and efforts to move toward flatter organizational structures, governments remain predominantly hierarchical. A fundamental shift in the values of those who manage the public sector, both at the political and the administrative levels, is required before government can transform itself from the hierarchical status quo to a more accountable and responsive system of governance. This paper focuses on the Canadian experience.

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.

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.
