At the Margins of Mainstream? East-Asian-Canadian Fiction for Children and Young Adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Resume: Si l'etude des œuvres proposant des personnages marginaux ou minoritaires permet de mieux repertorier et definir les caracteristiques des recits de facture et d'orientation plus traditionnelles, il n'en reste pas moins vrai que l'acces a ces œuvres reste souvent difficile. Les auteures nous proposent ici une bibliographie de 117 ouvrages de langue anglaise pour la jeunesse, soit 37 contes, 37 albums et 43 romans, qui presentent des personnages ou des themes d'origine ou de consonance asiatique, composes ou illustres par des Canadiens. Summary: While texts featuring non-mainstream characters and/or cultures can provide a useful body of work in which to explore the characteristics of mainstream Canadian children's literature, gaining access to these materials can be difficult. To facilitate the study of this literature, the authors have developed an annotated bibliography of 117 texts of English-language children's fiction (37 folktales, 37 picture books, and 43 novels) featuring East-Asian themes or significant characters and written and/or illustrated by Canadians.

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.
