Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper will present the development and decline of the network by the public sector. It will then present the various proposed takeovers by the State that the authors classified in three attempts: Conversion into subways, a rail line to the airport & Regional Express Montreal Network and the Surface Subways project. Following these three failed attempts, the authors present the implementation of a public subsidy, the modernization of the remaining lines, the takeover of management by the state authority, the implementation of a regional planning and management body, the re-launching of three new lines, the major upgrade attempts and the current consolidation phase. The paper is based on primary sources (interviews, legal documents and planning documents) as well as secondary sources (newspaper articles). This paper is the first study presenting the global history of Montreal’s commuter rail network and the various public sector attempts at planning and management of the network.

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.
