Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

M s Host of languages encountered by early settlers and explorers of North America belong to Algonquian family. With exception of Iroquois of Upper St. Lawrence and Siouan-speaking groups of Carolinas, Atlantic seaboard was occupied by Algonquian tribes whose names have survived in popular mythology, such as Powhatans of Virginia, and in novels of James Fenimore Cooper, such as Delawares and (heavily fictionalized) Mohegans. From there-across three centuries and better part of a continent-the Algonquian domain stretches to Blackfoot and Cheyenne of northern Great Plains and buffalo-hunting scenes of a Catlin or Bodmer.1 In Canada, most widely spoken languages, then and now, are those of Cree and Ojibwa complexes, with names such as Saulteaux, Algonquin and Ottawa for subdivisions of latter and Montagnais, Swampy Cree and Plains Cree for former. The earliest records of Algonquian languages date from beginning of seventeenth century: writings of Marc Lescarbot (Paris 1609) in New France, of John Smith (Oxford 1612) and William Strachey in Virginia, and then annual reports of Jesuits which began to be published with Paul LeJeune's Relation for 1633. Strachey's material, collected in 1610 and 1611, is the earliest recording in quantity (that has survived) on any Algonquian language (Siebert 1975: 292); although it was not published until modern times, it is typical of seventeenth century in that it is an appendix to a geographical and

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.
