Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

On August 21st, the federal government announced that for the first time Canada would adopt an official poverty line.Statistics Canada currently produces three measures meant to identify when someone is in poverty: the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO), the Market Basket Measure (MBM), and the Low Income Measure (LIM). None of these measures have ever been identified by the Government of Canada as an “official” poverty line. Significant differences in these measures have caused confusion over such basic questions as to how many people might be considered to be experiencing poverty and by how much would their income need to be raised to lift them from poverty.

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.
