Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Funded under a three-year Human Resources Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) contribution agreement, the Gateways project provides enhanced access to degree completion for underserved learners. These learners, mostly women aged 35 and older, look to prior learning assessment and recognition to award credit towards degree completion. \n \nCo-team leaders, Dr. Ingrid Crowther and Dr. Jane Arscott, summarize the project and provide examples of successes some of the students have already experienced during the second year of the project.

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.

Teacher imitation

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.
