Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Award-winning Newfoundland novelist, screenwriter, and playwright Edward Riche recounts his upbringing in St. John's and his time studying film at Concordia University. He discusses several issues touching Newfoundland culture, including the virtues of the relatively small St. John's artistic community, Confederation, the collapse of the fisheries, globalization, and the recent boom in the Atlantic Canadian novel. Many of these issues, along with the unfortunate necessity of tourism for Newfoundland's economy, are also explored in Riche's writing, such as his novels Rare Birds (1997) and The Nine Planets (2004). Finally, he discusses his own writerly versatility and the different processes entailed in writing for different venues, including his adapting of Rare Birds for film.

Not 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.
