Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I will be looking at the obvious and systematic lack of ethnic diversity in Canadian publishing through the writers in the industry and their personal accounts. I will be focusing specifically on the article, On Glibness And Diversity In Canadian Media by Saachi Koul, and the chapter Editing Indigenous Texts as an Indigenous Editor by Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm among the research I do to reflect on how the lack of diversity is systematically being ignored in Canada.

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.
