Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Why do learners readily adopt the orthographic corrections from 1990?They eliminate inconsistencies and irregularities (bonhommie aligns with bonhomme).They rationalize the singular and the plural of the compound names of the type portebagage, the conjugation of the verbs in -eler and -eter, the writing of borrowed words (weekend, désidérata) as well as their plural (des matchs, des whiskys).They largely correspond to the natural evolution of pronunciation and spelling.They touch 2,400 words.The Petit Larousse and the proofreaders take this into account.If we apply them all, less than one word per page is changed.Often, change only affects one accent (allègement, connaitre, couter).Without necessarily being taught, the new spellings are widely used in Belgium, Quebec, Switzerland and France.Traditional spellings remain valid.Neither of the two spellings (neither the old nor the new) can be held to be at fault.The rectifications from 1990, which are orthographic variants, are recommended by the French Academy of science.

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.
