Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

British Columbia is a large province with a diverse range of geographic regions, communities and cultures; the province’s economy is equally diverse, with economic development dependent on a range of industries and businesses. Like many parts of non-metropolitan Canada, the BC Interior region faces a number of challenges in meeting the demands of the 21st century economy, including those associated with transforming and diversifying the regional resource economy to one driven by innovation. To help understand and navigate these challenges and opportunities, BC is fortunate to have significant expertise and leadership in regional socio-economic innovation and socio-economic development research embedded within its non-metropolitan areas. This panel, comprised of key researchers and leaders in BC’s regional innovation ecosystem, will share their experiences in helping make the BC Interior the optimal living lab for regional innovation, and offer insights on the important role non-metropolitan areas can and must play for Canada to move toward a more innovative and inclusive economy.

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.
