Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter explores the meanings of home, efie, among ‘Ghanaian’ migrants in Toronto, Canada, and returned migrants in Ghana. Since the early 1980s, Toronto has become home to an estimated 20,000 Ghanaian Canadians, in response to the continuing economic crisis in Ghana. In addition to Toronto, Ghanaians can be found in other cities in Canada, the United States, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Britain, and newer locations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, leading to the growth of what may be referred to as the ‘Ghanaian diaspora’.

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.
