Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Community video in the United States emerged from decades of global experiences with activist participatory projects in electronic media, such as the tin miners’ radio network in Bolivia, community radio in the United States, the Challenge for Change program in Canada, and traditions of radical documentary film around the world. Within this context, public access cable television in the United States represents a unique achievement for community-based media around the world: The institutionalization of a process that provides people the opportunity to create video programs and air them on local cable television channels—an oasis of “free speech” and “free ideas” in a commercialized, corporate global media desert. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

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.
