Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In the nineteenth century Portuguese from Madeira emigrated in large numbers to the British Caribbean islands, especially British Guiana where they established themselves first as plantation workers and then in the commercial sectors. There they were treated as a separate racial category from other European settlers. At the end of the nineteenth century emigration also began to Argentina, especially from southern Portugal. Integration into the Spanish-speaking population was relatively swift, as it was in neighbouring Uruguay. After World War II large-scale emigration also took place to Venezuela. Emigration to Canada began in the 1950s and large Portuguese emigrant populations settled in Toronto and Montreal. The chapter follows the trajectory of emigrants from the earliest unskilled arrivals to second and third generations of settled Portuguese Canadians.

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.
