Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper summarizes how the Anglo-Norman Dictionary project has developed from an originally paper-based and print dictionary, to a fully digital, freely available online resource, comprising not only the Dictionary itself, but a substantial text-base in the same XML format as the Dictionary. The paper reviews the history of the Dictionary; the principles of structured encoding; the relationship between the citations (attestations) in the Dictionary, as instances of parole, and the broader Anglo-Norman language (the langue); and the detailed encoding of entries.

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.
