Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians - Experiences of Discrimination, 2020: Crowdsource file
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The data collection series Crowdsourcing: Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians is designed to assess the quality and viability of a more timely collection model using willing participants and web-only collection. The Crowdsourcing: Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians - Experiences with discrimination is the seventh iteration in the continuing series of crowdsourcing cycles. The overall goal of the crowdsourcing initiative is to invite all members of the Canadian population to participate in a data collection exercise on a voluntary basis. The main topic of this seventh crowdsourcing was to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted confidence and trust in various institutions, general public, and neighbours, and to determine if experiences with discrimination before and during the pandemic has disproportionally impacted certain groups more than others. In the context of this product, the term crowdsourcing refers to the process of collecting information via an online questionnaire. Open advertising was used to obtain participants who chose to self-select by completing the questionnaire. As such, the crowdsourcing data was collected through a completely non-probabilistic approach which does not involve a random selection of respondents like other traditional Statistics Canada surveys. Therefore, results pertain only to the participants and cannot be used to draw conclusions about the larger population of individuals in Canada who live with a long-term condition or disability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
