«They give a history of wandering over the world». A Romani clan's transnational movement in the early 20th century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article looks at the transnational movement at the beginning ot he 20th century of a gypsy kinship of coppersmiths called Tshoron, which appears in the documents thanks to a a specific way of self-presentation. This research draws upon numerous sources such as: U.S. and Canadian immigration national archives; papers of gypsiologists around the world belonging to the Gypsy Lore Society based in Liverpool; newspaper archives; a huge iconographic collection. These sources are analysed with the methods of micro-history applied on a global scale. The aim is to think gypsy mobility differently: it is, in fact, not only linked to economical and social practices but is also a way in which these groups maintain themselves in an anthropological way. Thhis also gives the opportunity to question the notion of cosmopolitanism and its relation to gypsy mobility.

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.
