Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Electric-Assisted bikes, or e-bikes, are a low-carbon mode of transportation. Therefore, they could help in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by the transportation sector. Indeed, they could replace personal cars for some trips. However, even if the use of e-bikes is developing in Europe, it is less the case in North America. In particular, little information is available regarding the use of e-bikes in Québec (Canada). In order to include them into transportation planning, it would be useful to know more precisely the potential routes that e-bikes could follow. Using GPS data from e-bike trials in the six major regions of Québec (Canada), we develop a route calculator dedicated to e-bikes by computing the cost of each link thanks to the observed speeds in the dataset. This calculator takes into account the slope and road category. The computed itineraries are coherent with the dataset and with another dataset containing trips from the e-bike sharing system in Montreal (Québec Region, Canada).

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.
