Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This presentation explores the application of political pragmatism to prevent the negative impacts of partisanship in Canadian political culture. Polarization and partisan sorting have become a seemingly inescapable facet of the liberal-conservative divide, but could there be an alternative to this classic Left-Right debate? This thought experience seeks to discuss the merit of pragmatism as a school of thought, explore how pragmatism can fit within current partisan lines, and apply its principles to decrease political polarization and prioritize evidence-based decision-making in the Canadian context.

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.
