PHIO: A Knowledge Base for Interpretation and Calculation of Public Health Indicators
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Existing population health indicators tend to be out-of-date, not fully available at local levels of geography, and not developed in a coherent/consistent manner, which hinders their use in public health. The PopHR platform aims to deliver an electronic repository that contains multiple aggregated clinical, administrative, and environmental data sources to provide a coherent view of the health status of populations in the province of Quebec, Canada. This platform is designed to provide representative information in near-real time with high geographical resolution, thereby assisting public health professionals, analysts, clinicians and the public in decision-making. This paper presents our ongoing efforts to develop an integrated population health indicator ontology (PHIO) that captures the knowledge required for calculation and interpretation of health indicators within a PopHR semantic framework.
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
