Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter provides a Canadian definition of homelessness and discusses the impacts of Canadian federalism, the third sector, and distinctive facets among Indigenous peoples. The chapter outlines some modest successes. But no jurisdiction takes responsibility for its resolution. Housing needs to be affordable and available, supports for those who need them need to be adequate, and the risk factors that lead to homelessness needs to be adequately funded, staffed, and utilized so that cycles of chronic homelessness do not continue to contribute to what feels to many to be a wicked – or difficult to resolve – problem.

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.
