Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Why I May Still Be Canadian is an irreverent look at all things Canadian and Israeli by a Canadian expat who somehow ended up in self-exile somewhere in the empty expanse of the Negev desert. David Lloyd left his native Canada at the age of 18, but it took him over 35 years of living in Israel before he was ready to take on the name of expat. And in doing so, he set out to understand the true meaning of the word through the writing of this blog. He has set out on a long and intricate journey and hopes that you will join him, as we question the things that shape us. Do family, language and culture really determine who we are, or is there still room to reinvent ourselves? You need not be an expat to join in this journey. The questions are relevant to us all. It helps, though, if you have a sense of humour.

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.
