Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

J.B. Priestley played a significant role in presenting the British case in World War II. In the early, desperate years of the wax, his inspirational “Postscripts” to the nine o’clock news had huge audiences, while his “Britain Speaks” broadcasts to the United States helped keep that country on side when supplies were vital. When his left-wing views antagonized Winston Churchill, however, Priestley’s broadcasts were censored, and he expressed his frustration in pamphlets and fiction. The story of his situation not only is interesting in itself, but it also dramatizes the problem of the freedom of the artist in time of war.

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.
