Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The exponential growth of Latin American migrants arriving in Canada each year since the 1960s highlights the need for collections that accurately depict Canada’s cultural diversity. There exists, however, a gap in visual collections regarding Latin American narratives of immigration in Canada. This research paper explores Latin AmeriCan, a participatory photography project that aims to generate a digital collection of immigration histories and create a space where the Latin American community in Canada and the general public can access them. This collection reunites visual and oral histories of Latin American immigrants in Canada by collaborating with community members who wish to share their stories in an online archive. Latin AmeriCan explores the struggles and achievements commonly faced by Latin American immigrants in Canada. This MRP expands on some of the recurring themes from photo-elicitation interviews and what they can tell us about lived experiences of immigration.

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.
