Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Since the late 1970s the term "orientalism" has most often been used to assert the existence of an exoticised, romanticised and often hegemonic European view of the non-Western Other. A similar approach can be seen in travelogues of India written by Middle Eastern and Central Asian Muslims during the pre-modern period. This observation suggests that such approaches to the Other are not unique to Europeans, but may be characteristic of hegemonic cultures in general.

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.
