Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

"[T]he frenzy that would have silenced his master-work," W. B. Yeats wrote in J. M. Synge and the Ireland of his Time, "was, like most violent things, artificial, that defence of virtue by those who have but little, which is the pomp and gallantry of journalism and its right to govern the world". Thus polemicizing against the rhetoric of Synge's opponents, Yeats breathed new life into the arguments that - as he saw it — had by their "bitterness and ignorance" killed his friend and fellow dramatist. Yet also evident in the indictment is Yeats' commentary on his own flair for controversy, as the critics' critic, energetically condemning his era's easy condemnations: "[L]ife became sweet again when I had learnt all I had not learnt in shaping words, in defending Synge against his enemies"

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.

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.
