Serving Canadians Better On-Line?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian government's 1999 Speech from the Throne set the goal of being known around the world as the government most connected to its citizens with Canadians able to access all government services on-line at any time and place of their choosing. As part of achieving this advancement to a knowledge society, the government made a series of investments in infrastructure, content and access. Underlying these commitments and activities is a broadly held expectation by government and other social actors that social and economic activities in the country are, and will be, predominately conducted using electronic communications. The federal government's approach to information and service delivery is primarily framed by a broad on-line policy framework, to be implemented through the citizen-centred Government On-Line/Service Improvement Initiative (Canada, 2006; Treasury Board of Canada, 2002, 2003). Within this context however, there continues to be debate about variation of access (digital divides) and the veracity for different means of information and service access by citizens.

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.
