Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Dam Safety Guidelines published in 2007 by the Canadian Dam Association(CDA) pro-vide limited guidance for owners and consultants to effectively carry out Dam Safety Reviews(DSR).Practices vary widely across Canada, so the CDA has formed a working group to develop material to sup-plement the Dam Safety Guidelines. It is expected that a Technical Bulletin on Dam Safety Reviews willbe published and that continuing education materials will be developed for the CDA membership. Thispaper presents the concept developed by the working group for further discussion and input, and at thesame time outlines current practices related to Dam Safety Reviews in Canada.This paper draws on a number of sources in addition to the Dam Safety Guidelines: many individual CDAmembers, through sessions at both the 2011 and 2012 annual conferences; the expertise of the Dam Safe-ty Review Working Group of CDA; and input from a working group of the Association of Professional En-gineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia(APEGBC) that is developing professional practice guide-lines for legislated Dam Safety Reviews.

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.
