Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article provides an ethnographic account of an Indian food tour that runs along Brick Lane, a street famous for its Indian restaurants in east London. The tour is discussed in the context of Indian cuisine’s history in the United Kingdom and the construction of Brick Lane as a culinary tourist attraction. Uses for the concept of spice in the tour text, as an indicator of both heat and richness of flavor, are analyzed. It is found that spice is used to persuade tour participants that they are having an out of the ordinary experience in keeping with current trends in gourmet and culinary tourist discourses. At the same time, interviews with tour guides and the tour organizer suggest they employ the concept of spice in ways that can seem at odds with the text of the tour. Spice emerges as a tool for achieving diverse commercial and personal goals.

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.

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.
