Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Internet penetration is an important measure for a knowledge-based economy as it indicates how connected it is to the internet. It does not spread evenly across regions and societies, which results in digital divides. Despite being one of the most connected countries, Canada suffers from uneven penetration rates across the country. In this research, we study the socio-economic factors that int1uence Internet penetration in Canada. We found that the int1uence of rurality has decreased between 2005 and 2007, which suggests that initiatives that took place in those two years were effective. We also analyze the differences among the regions of Canada and found that the regions least int1uenced by the demographic variables are not necessarily the ones with the highest penetration rates. Therefore, a mere look at the penetration rates across the regions is not enough to assess the connectivity of the region and the digital divide within.

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.
