Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

During the period of the Great War—when the rest of the world had its eyes turned towards Europe—the province of Ontario found itself in the midst of a domestic crisis. Only two decades earlier, the provincial government had enacted legislation giving the newly-founded Children’s Aid Society (CAS) the authority to identify and protect neglected and maltreated children. This legislation emerged out of a concern over juvenile delinquency, but its range was limited: services for children were given little financial backing, and CAS workers were only locally regulated. By the end of the Great War, then, concerns about rising rates of illegitimacy in Ontario and frustrations about the lack of institutionalized support led CAS workers to become increasingly persuaded that the only path forward for child protection was through legalized adoption.

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.

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.
