Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The present paper examines the effects of gender and sex on political orientation. This topic is important because if a difference is found in gender and political orientation this could be an indication of one genders needs not being met by political parties or the current government. The data that was used for the present paper was from the 2015 Alberta Survey. A sample size of 1,200 households was used and they were chosen by a two stage selection process. Those over 18 of whom lived in a home that could be contacted via phone in Alberta were targeted for this survey. The findings were different from what was originally hypothesized. Gender was not found to play a role in political orientation. This finding differs from previous literature which had reported gender gaps. However education level was found to have an effect on voting behavior.

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.
