Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As of the late 1980s, approximately 100 million people were resident outside their nations of current citizenship. Roughly 35 million were in sub-Sahara Africa alone and approximately 13–15 million each in the prosperous regions of Western Europe and North America. Another 15 million or so were in the Middle East or Asia (Russell and Teitelbaum 1992; 1, 9). The United Nations estimates that over 60 million people, or 1.2 percent of the world’s population, now reside in a country where they were not born (United Nations 1989: 61). Although most immigrants choose a traditional destination (over one-half go to the United States, Canada or Australia), many other countries are also receiving relatively large immigrant flows, including Germany, Switzerland, France and the United Kingdom. Of the total number of immigrants, as of 1993, about 18 million were refugees, most of whom were located in Africa and Asia, up from 8 million in 1980 and 2.5 million in 1970 ( The Economist , 23 December 1989: 17; The Economist , 13 November 1993: 45).

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.
