Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The novel has always borne a close relationship with the 'literature of fact' - history, travel writing, confession, letters and the diary - and the parallels between fiction and life writing are similarly deep and long-standing. James Joyce chronicles his coming of age in a third-person narration about young Stephen Dedalus, and writers as diverse as Patrick Kavanagh, Mary Costello and Seamus Deane offer as novels thinly disguised versions of their early years. Calling his three-volume autobiography, Hail and Farewell (1911-14), a 'novel about real people', George Moore draws attention to the blurring of genre endemic to life writing, as does Oliver St John Gogarty when he prefaces As I Was Going Down Sackville Street (1937) with the disclaimer, 'The names in this book are real, the characters fictitious.' Yet while autobiographical fiction and the fictionalised autobiography both play fast and loose with facticity, the two genres are not synonymous, and a consideration of their differences elucidates the contributions life writing has made to the development of prose narrative in modern Ireland.

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.
