Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Data collection usually begins in advance of fieldwork and often continues once we leave the field. While applied anthropologists pride themselves in basing their research on authentic, in-context observations, we also conduct preliminary research on the communities we visit during our stay in the field. Furthermore, research continues back home when analyzing the data that was carefully collected. If one of the strengths of ethnographic fieldwork is in providing the opportunity to create relationships with our research subjects, it is important to remember that these relationships are not confined to our time spent in the communities. We seek contacts and permission long before arrival, often going through various forms of research approval processes. Once we leave the field, modern technology and anthropological practices ensure that we maintain these relationships. Through disseminating research results to communities, using feedback mechanisms with research participants, and continuing research interests with the same groups, the anthropologists' interests expand beyond actual fieldwork.

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.
