Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Clinical decision support tools such as Evidence2Practice Ontario (E2P) can be an effective way to reduce the 17-year gap between clinical innovation and its use in practice. To enhance the interoperability and scalability of E2P we propose leveraging the pan-Canadian Health Application Lightweight Protocol (HALO) framework. Public and private developers could be informed by E2P as the initial use case to test the capability of HALO to support clinical decision support tools.

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.
