Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Government’s broad powers and the important ends for which they are used require that government be held accountable to ensure that its activities are both effective and proper. Nowhere is this truer than the government of Canada’s national security activities. Yet the intense secrecy surrounding the collection and use of intelligence means that the ordinary system of accountability, both within the executive and through the executive’s relationships with Parliament and the courts, function in an attenuated manner. As a result, a parallel system of accountability within the executive exists to replicate some of the accountability that the ordinary system would normally provide. Proposed reforms would strengthen the parallel system in welcome ways, but too little thought has so far been given to the future of the relationship between the parallel and ordinary systems.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
