Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Canadian government has been instructed to release unpublished clinical trial data relating to Tamiflu, Relenza, and three human papillomavirus vaccines immediately, in a landmark ruling hailed as a “major victory” for transparency. The case was brought by Peter Doshi, assistant professor at the University of Maryland and associate editor of The BMJ , after Health Canada refused his request to obtain unpublished information relating to Tamiflu, Relenza, Gardasil, Gardasil 9, and Cervarix because he would not sign a confidentiality agreement that would have prevented him from disseminating or publishing anything on it. A federal court judge said it was “unreasonable” for Health Canada to impose a confidentiality requirement as a condition for the disclosure …

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.
