Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The chapter begins by noting the significance for Quebec of parallels between Quebec and Scotland. It points out also the particular significance of the referendum concept in Quebec, given a history of referendums. This long predates the votes in 1980 and 1995 on sovereignty. Differences between Quebec and the rest of Canada have been accentuated by this history. The Scottish referendum therefore ranked relatively high in measurements of most covered news items in Quebec in 2014. However the coverage mainly used the Scottish case to reflect back on Quebec, so that even coverage from Scotland tended to have Quebec issues in the background. The chapter analyzes output from a variety of media and notes various issues, ranging from the division of powers between Scotland and the UK to questions of management of natural resources and international treaties. There is some focus on Scottish politicians and celebrities. Generally media coverage appeared balanced. The chapter concludes that the referendum was treated like a domestic issue in Quebec.

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.
