The Political and Cultural Stakes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intangible Cultural Heritage inspires lively debates and has enjoyed increasing recognition more or less everywhere in the world since 2003, when UNESCO adopted the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Inspired by Japanese heritage policies that accord a high value on the intangible, the Convention sought to promote intangible heritage to protect cultural diversity and human creativity. The Convention came into effect in April 2006 and has already been signed by more than 70 countries, such as Spain, Belgium, France, Mexico, India, China, and Japan. Yet neither Canada nor the U.S. have signed, nor have they shown any desire to do so. This plenary session seeks to articulate the political and cultural stakes explaining the Canadian and American positions on the Convention.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
