Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Arts-based evaluation is an effective way to engage people and uncover meaningful, valid results. In the project that was used to inform this article, an arts-based approach was used to gain an understanding of the effects the Communities ChooseWell Program has had according to the Champions’ experiences. Communities ChooseWell is an Alberta Recreation and Parks Association Program that promotes healthy eating and active living in communities across Alberta. The evaluation was completed using an arts-based approach which allowed us to explore varied long-term effects in different contexts. The arts used within this project include painting, writing narratives, and quilting. This article will present some reflections and recommendations that could inform evaluators that are interested in using arts-based approaches. This article starts with information from relevant literature about arts-based approaches to evaluation followed by what was learned throughout the ChooseWell arts-based evaluation and recommendations for evaluators when planning an arts-based evaluation.

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.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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.
