Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In 1924, Robert Park set up a team of social scientists as his first move in organizing the research for the Survey of Race Relations. All the prominent universities on the West Coast were represented, from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Almost half of the researchers were graduates of the University of Chicago: Emory Bogardus of USC received his Ph.D. from Chicago in 1911; William Carlson Smith, also at USC, received his doctorate from Chicago in 1920; and Roderick McKenzie of the University of Washington in Seattle was a student of Park’s who received his Ph.D. from Chicago in 1921. The list of researchers and their ties to Chicago is remarkable yet, at closer glance, perhaps not altogether surprising.

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.
