Quality of Life in Canadian MunicipalitiesFCM’s Quality of Life Reporting System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This is the third in a series of reports on quality of life prepared by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) using information derived from a variety of national and municipal data sources. The first report, published in 1999, addressed the social effects of the severe economic recession of the early 1990s, focusing on the period 1991 to 1996. A second report, published in 2001, identified the beginning of an economic recovery that took place in the second half of the 1990s. The statistics used in this report are drawn from a larger reporting system containing hundreds of variables that measure changes in social, economic and environmental factors. These variables are structured into 75 indicators of the quality of life in 20 Canadian municipalities from 1990 to 2002. Taken together, these data
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.

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.
