Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A recent political anthropology argues that the character of Canadian parties' constituency election campaigns is largely determined by the nature of their local associations' nomination politics, as shaped by the electoral appeal of the constituencies in which it takes place. Three characteristics of the nomination process define a model that suggests there are only four basic types of candidate in Canadian elections, each producing a distinctive campaign organization and style in terms of both constituency activity and the integration of the local campaign with that of its national party. In this article, we use the data from a national survey of local associations of the national parties to explore the applicability of the proposed typology and test hypothesized party organizational and campaign relationships that flow from this theory of local campaign politics.

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.
