Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The suicide rates of different groups are different and relatively stable. This fact cautions against simplistic explanations and quick-fixes for the problem of suicide. The global suicide rate remained relatively stable from 1960 to 2000, however the gender gap widened. In western and English speaking countries, the male suicide rate is around 3 times greater than the female. Globally, there is an increase in suicide rate with age, but in western and English speaking countries, there is bimodality, with one peak for young adults and another for the aged. The much publicised increase in suicide rate among the young has receded since 1997. Individual nations have different, relatively stable suicide rates. There are very high suicide rates among some indigenous people (the Inuit of Canada and Greenland, the First Nations of North America, the Maori of New Zealand and the Aborigines of Australia), which can be attributed to exposure to a “dominant culture”.

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.
