Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

La genèse de la firme québécoise d’ingénierie conseil et de construction SNC Lavalin remonte à la création d’Arthur Surveyer & Cie, un bureau d’ingénierie conseil fondé par Arthur Surveyer, en 1911, lorsqu’il s’associa avec ses deux collaborateurs, Georges Chênevert et Emil Nenninger. Elle remonte également à la naissance du bureau d’ingénierie conseil fondé par les ingénieurs Lalonde & Valois (L&V). Les crises pétrolières de 1973 et 1979 et la période de récession économique qui s’en suivit, pendant les années 1980, compliqua le développement des deux firmes. Néanmoins, les deux bureaux d’ingénierie conseil connurent un itinéraire particulier qui les amena à une expansion locale, au Canada, mais aussi internationale dans le monde entier. Devenus très tôt des concurrents, ils développèrent des modèles qui leurs étaient spécifiques. Plus tard, du fait de la récession économique, ils commencèrent à partager la même stratégie d’affaires, c’est-à-dire la diversification de leurs activités, jusqu’au moment où, en 1991, les deux entreprises soient amenées à discuter d’un destin commun pour fusionner leur organigramme et partager leur savoir-faire dans une seule entreprise.

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.
