Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper builds on a long-standing and well-articulated science, technology, innovation and knowledge (STIK) partnership between Canada and South Africa.It provides an historical overview of the origins and development of the STIK partnership since 1994 with the early efforts of Canada's International Development Research Centre and the new ANC government in framing a green and white paper for South Africa's national science and technology policy.It suggests an opportunity within the context of the G7 and G20 Summits being hosted by Canada and South Africa, respectively, in 2025, and argues for enhanced research opportunities in science diplomacy and science policy exchanges.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
