Abstract

grantor: University of Toronto

Stored with the screening record, where it is evidence for the labels above.

stratum: about_only · design weight: 3321.24 (the sample is stratified; any rate computed without the weight is wrong)
Claude Opus 4.8OUT
genre: empirical
about Canada: no
confidence: low

Dissertation on Bayesian disease mapping of Ontario lung cancer mortality; abstract is missing, and the title reads as applied epidemiology rather than research-on-research.

GPT-5.6 (high)OUT
genre: empirical
about Canada: no
confidence: low

The title concerns mapping lung cancer mortality with Bayesian models, while the abstract is insufficient to add detail.

Grok 4.5OUT
genre: empirical
about Canada: no
confidence: medium

Uses Bayesian hierarchical models to map lung-cancer mortality; method-as-tool for epidemiology, not study of the method.

Full frame machine prediction

Teacher imitation

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.
