Tech needs more men... to support gender equality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The technology sector has traditionally been dominated by men. In 2015, Google, Apple, and Facebook all reported the ratio of men to women in their organization was 7 to 3. However, while companies are working on diversifying their workforce, the culture of the industry has been slow to change and 52% of women are leaving the tech industry. More recently, there has been a flurry of activity around empowering women. However, gender equality is not only a women’s issue. True equality requires involvement from everyone—both men and women. This project explores the challenges men face in supporting women within their technology organizations; without addressing the barriers men face we will not be able to realize the full potential and benefits of their advocacy. The project uses participatory design and generative research to co-create and prototype a toolkit of resources for male advocates.

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.
