Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract On 16 August 2017, Canada, the United States, and Mexico officially launched the ‘re-negotiation’ of the NAFTA, which up until that point had presided over nearly a quarter century of North American trade. US President Trump made it clear that unless drastic changes were made to it, the US would withdraw from the NAFTA. In some respects, it had become clear that an agreement first implemented during the pre-digitalized age, and well-before issues like environment and labour standards were comprehensively addressed within FTAs, was badly in need of changes and modernization. Given its dissatisfaction with the agreement and other issues, the United States was engaging in the politics of breakdown in the rule of law to force change. Once the dust had settled and the new agreement in place, however, it was remarkable in that despite the ringing criticisms, it was clear the NAFTA was mostly left in place, but with a few key improvements, updates, and additions to signal a revised commitment of the Parties to North American trade.

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.
