Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

From the 1994 CAIS Conference:The Information Industry in TransitionMcGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.A survey conducted on the first day of an introductory computer class designed for business students showed that there was a attitudinal gender gap in 1984; women expressed significantly more apprehension than men about learning to use computers. In 1993, there were no statistically significant differences in the responses of men and women, but men were beginning to report more concern than women. Only one specific area -concern about possible physical hazards or discomfort - showed an overall increase from 1984 to 1993.

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.
