Abstract
Research that uses theories, principles and methods to solve practical problems.Basic: Research activities that seek to develop knowledge within one or more academic disciplines.Creative: Any research activity that is an essential part of the creative process or artistic discipline that directly fosters the creation of artistic works.This research must address clear research questions, offer theoretical contextualization within the relevant fields of inquiry, present a well-considered methodological approach and lead to substantially improved insights.The research and resulting artistic works must meet peer standards of excellence and be suitable for publication, public performance or viewing.Institutional: Research conducted by the College to understand its services and profile its student population.This may include research on college practices, enrolment patterns as well as the analysis of pre-and post-CÉGEP student patterns at university and in the labour market.Pedagogical: Any research conducted to directly improve the learning environment at the College.The focus of this research is on the learning process, but includes
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
