Bibliographic record
Abstract
<br>This is the Twitter Parliamentarian Database: a database consisting of parliamentarian names, parties and twitter ids from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Poland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, New Zealand, Turkey, United States, Canada, Australia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Latvia and Slovenia. In addition, the database includes the European Parliament.The tweet ids from the politicans' tweets have been collected from September 2017 - 31 October 2019 (<i>all_tweet_ids.csv</i>). In compliance with Twitter's policy, we only store tweet ids, which can be re-hydrated into full tweets using existing tools. More information on how to use the database can be found in the <i>readme.txt.</i>It is recommended that you use the .csv files to work with the data, rather than the SQL tables. Information on the relations in the SQL database can be found in the <i>Database codebook.pdf.</i><i>Update:</i>The tweet ids for 2021 have been added as <i>'2021.csv'</i><i>Update #2:</i>The tweet ids for 2020 have been added as<i> '2020.csv'</i>The last party table has been added as<i> 'parties_2021_04_28.csv'</i>The last members table has been added as <i>'members_2021_04_28.csv'</i><br><br>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
