Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

L’actualité des publications en sociologie vient mettre en question sa capacité à expliquer ce qu’elle prend pour objet sans véritablement définir ce que signifie ce mot, expliquer. Le présent article cherche à répondre aux questions suivantes : qu’est-ce donc qu’expliquer ? Que signifie exactement ce terme associé à la science ? En quoi et pourquoi la visée que sous-tend le mot trouve-t-elle difficilement son droit, ou sa pertinence, en sociologie ? Comment se conçoit l’explication en termes opératoires ? Les réponses avancées ici s’appuient d’abord sur les nuances apportées par l’épistémologie contemporaine à la caractérisation de la science associée aux trois maîtres mots que sont décrire, comprendre et expliquer. L’analyse d’une entrevue qualitative vient ensuite illustrer les opérations en vertu desquelles expliquer devient possible dans cette discipline, dès lors susceptible d’être considérée comme une science, elle-même conçue comme une connaissance par objet, par concept et par méthode.

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.
