Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Since the beginning of 2014 to May 10, 103 cases of measles have been reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada from five provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Three factors contribute to this. First, Canadians travel more than they used to, increasing the risk in those who are not immunized of importing the disease into Canada. Second, there has been an increase in measles in countries that have high population exchange with Canada, including France (2011), the Netherlands (2013) and, most recently, the Philippines (2014). Finally, there is suboptimal immunization coverage in some areas across Canada. This year there have been 21 importations to May 10th, yet, despite how highly contagious measles is, only eight led to transmission within Canada. Strengthening immunization programs, maintaining heightened vigilance and continuing to achieve rapid containment of imported infections are essential for sustaining measles elimination.

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.
