Feature Story: Federal funding awarded to U of R researchers delving into pressing social, environmental, technological, and economic issues
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While much of Canada is navigating an opioid epidemic, the Prairies are also contending with a crystal meth crisis. The drug is cheap, easy to obtain, and is highly addictive. According to police, meth-related crimes in the Prairies are also continuing to rise. Yet, we rarely hear directly from people who use crystal meth. To provide an opportunity for others to learn about the experiences of those who use crystal meth and what is needed to navigate the crystal meth crisis in Saskatoon, the University of Regina’s Dr. Kara Fletcher is launching a collaborative project called Stories to Tell: A Pilot Podcast Project for Youth with Lived Experience of Crystal Meth Use in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

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.
