Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Turn on the radio or television in a South African establishment and chances are you will have to flick the remote in order to find a channel you understand. Such is the linguistic diversity of this country. One hears many languages in most countries worldwide. At present, most countries have more than one official language. South Africa, however, boasts eleven official languages since after the first truly democratic elections in 1994, nine Bantu languages were granted equal status after centuries of dominance by Afrikaans and English/ Some view this as a victory for democracy. Some might argue that this move to declare even those languages spoken by less than 2% of the population as official was a hollow gesture made by the political negotiators at being politically correct. Others question the presumption of equal status and the practical implementation of such a constitutional right.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
