Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Food culture on the Tanzanian Swahili coast by the tenth century ce reflects the geography (land and sea) and social histories of coastal Eastern Africa, a long narrow strip connecting communities between what is now southern Somalia with northern Mozambique and offshore islands. The coastal culture was influenced by coastal–interior trade connections, with agro‐pastoralists moving from the interior by 2000 years ago, in addition to intercontinental Indian Ocean trade interactions that started from the first millennium ce . The introduction of the Islamic religion to coastal East Africa by the eighth century influenced the area's food culture as well, and included the adoption of rice into a cuisine centered on African domesticated grains, sorghum, and pearl millet.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
