Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Citizen Participation (CP) is essential for urban projects, traditionally done through face-to-face meetings. Information Technologies (IT) have introduced electronic participation (e- Participation), enhancing inclusivity and engagement. CPPs generate valuable data for decisionmaking, but processing large volumes of unstructured data is challenging. Traditional methods are inefficient. AI algorithms can improve data analysis, automate classification, detect patterns, and extract relevant information, reducing the workload for decision-makers. This research explores how AI can detect and classify patterns in CPP data, contributing to best practices in applying AI to government operations.

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.
