Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this research was to understand comprehensively the identity of the main character in the novel of by Yann Martel. It was a qualitative research with content analysis conducted in Jakarta, from June to August 2013. The data were collected through comprehensive reading to the novel, some relevant books, and articles review in internet. Then, it was analyzed through the psycho-analysis theory. Since this is a qualitative research and the researcher himself is the instrument, most of activities were conducted by the study of literature. It was done by tracing relevant data in novels which showed the developmental phases of the main character from childhood to his teenage in order to know his personality, conflicts, the factors which affect the search for identity, and the efforts made by the main character in his search of identity. Results of this research showed that the main character in the novel Life of Pi by Yann Martel is extrovert, intelligent, earnest and energetic. He is a devout adherent of three religions: Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. He is also a lecturer at the University of Toronto, and an animal lover.

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.
