Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

La question de la prostitution était importante au Canada à la fin du XIX e siècle. Dans beaucoup de villes canadiennes, les travailleuses du sexe habitaient des maisons de prostitution situées dans les quartiers communément appelés de débauche. Bien que les travailleuses du sexe aient été dénombrées à chaque recensement décennal, les démographes, les géographes urbains et les historiens du recensement s'en sont désintéressés parce qu'elles se disaient couturières pour dissimuler leur profession. Cet essai, qui s'intéresse au cas de Victoria (en Colombie-Britannique), montre comment faire pour identifier les tenancières et les prostituèes des maisons de passe sur les tableaux manuscrits du recensement de 1891 à 1901 et comment utiliser les documents pour délimiter le territoire du commerce sexuel dans une ville de l'époque victorienne. Durant le processus, des questions surgissent quant à la valeur, à prime abord, des données agrégées du recensement.

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.
