Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The chapter starts with the invisibility of women in the early days of computer science and their substantial contributions to the field. An important part of this chapter are studies demonstrating the differences in women’s participation in the computing field in different countries. A nuanced, culturally situated intersectional analysis of gender and computing reveals that some countries (e.g. Malaysia or India) are much more open to educating and employing women IT professionals than others. Power issues continue to determine women’s opportunities to enter a career in the computing field. The chapter describes women’s work experiences in IT professions, the male-dominated working culture, and forms of gendered racism. One of the main barriers for women continues to be the typical working conditions in IT companies. But studies also show how women with time empower themselves, carving out a space that helps them deploy their skills and grow, and take control of their own careers. The chapter concludes with the question ‘What is wrong with computing?’

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.
