The Canadian Yearbook of International Law/Annuaire canadien de droit international: Founding, Function, Future
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Founded in the early 1960s and published annually since 1963, The Canadian Yearbook of International Law/Annuaire canadien de droit international (‘Canadian Yearbook’) was originally conceived as a means of bringing international legal scholarship to Canada, but also as a venue through which distinctive Canadian perspectives on international law could be incubated and projected to the world. It was also expected to serve both the academic and practising professional communities of international lawyers in Canada, and to do so in both of Canada’s official languages. The Canadian Yearbook has done and continues to do all of these things, but in recent years has sought to broaden not only its readership but also its authorship beyond Canadian shores. It has succeeded in doing so by leveraging the advantages of ‘continuing’ online publication as an accompaniment to the traditional publication of an annual, bound volume. The result has been more timely dissemination of its contents to a growing worldwide readership through, inter alia, an ever-increasing subscription base of academic and other institutional libraries around the globe. As such it seems probable that the Canadian Yearbook, as Canada’s leading scholarly serial publication devoted to international legal issues, will continue to serve as a central pillar not only of Canada’s international legal community but also of Canada’s contributions to international legal scholarship and practice for the foreseeable future.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
