Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several new collection methods were implemented in the 2006 Census of Population. For the first time, a block canvass operation was performed to update the Address Register, which made it feasible to mail the questionnaires through Canada Post to 70% of households across Canada. Completed questionnaires were mailed back to a central data processing centre where they were scanned and subjected to automated editing for completeness. Failed edit follow-ups were done from three Census Help Line Centres. The 2006 Census also provided the option for respondents to complete their questionnaires on the Internet. These new methods and some results will be discussed.

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.
