Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Throughout the course Theatre and Performance 282, we have read and discussed Black culture and the oppression Black people face every day. We have also read about Black music and the fear of a Black world and after reading that piece, I wanted to take a deeper look into Black music. As a society, we have this bias against Black people but so much of our music has been shaped by their culture and roots. We have such a strong bias and think of Black people in a negative way based on stereotypes that have been formed over centuries of racism that as a society, we rarely take the time to look at how Black people have influenced some of our favorite cultural trends, particularly through music.

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.
