Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The United States of America is one of the largest countries in the world with a relatively free press standing 48th in the Reporters Sans Frontieres annual ranking. RSF is critical of the continuing decline of press freedom, with President Donald Trump leading attacks on journalists whom he describes as an “enemy of the American People” that have encouraged others to copy. The developing concerns of the public for protection of their privacy largely mirror those of the UK, with some US citizens, perhaps, being more concerned about privacy invasions by their government than those in the UK. Canada lies somewhere between the US and the UK when it comes to media privacy. Like many Commonwealth countries it takes its lead in legal terms from its British colonial past structuring its legal system and common law on Anglo-Saxon norms, strengthened by its connections to the US.

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.
