Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this short paper I argue that the migratory journey of many newcomers to Canada is marked by an experience of biographical erasure, which is detrimental to their health and wellbeing. First, I present some contextual considerations about migration, and mention some of my own experiences as an immigrant to introduce the concept of biographical erasure. In the second part of the paper, I present three poems that illustrate how biographical erasure shapes the experiences of research participants. While the notion of erasure was initially described in the introduction to these poems (Gastaldo, 2004), in this article, I expand the concept inspired by the idea of biographical emptying, an expression utilized by the Brazilian journalist and poet, Fabricio Carpinejar (2012).

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.
