Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is well known that periodicals of low esteem, both Canadian and non-Canadian, regularly covered Montreal during the immediate post–Second World War period in ways that emphasized the city’s allegedly corrupt and vice-ridden character. In the 1960s, this discourse shifted, as periodicals of all levels of prestige came to offer more appealing images of Montreal’s cosmopolitanism and quality attractions. Magazines aimed at tourists emphasized Montreal’s cosmopolitanism and modernity, highlighting the availability of up-to-date consumer goods influenced by European style and the technological marvels being constructed for the 1967 World’s Fair, Expo ’67. Guides to entertainment in Montreal offered inventories of sophisticated, “European” dining experiences and chic nightlife venues. Through an examination of a variety of periodicals aimed at visitors to Montreal or inhabitants of the city anxious to discover its new attractions, this article traces Montreal’s reinvention of itself as a cosmopolitan, forward-looking metropolis.

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.

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.
