Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Modern day Canada is perceived as a country that is open to immigrants, or even actually in need of migrants who would be willing to settle there. However, in the twentieth century, some immigrants of creative profession (artists, painters, writers, poets, journalists) who wanted to continue their professional activity in Canada faced different problems: both in adaptation with the host society and one’s own ethnic group. In this paper I would like to focus on the examples of some Polish emigrants (e.g.: Michal Choromański, Rafał Malczewski, Zofia Bogdanowiczowa, Jadwiga Jurkszus- Tomaszewska, Adam Tomaszewski, Wacław Iwaniuk, Florian Śmieja, Bogdan Czaykowski, Roman Sabo, Edward Zyman, Marek Kusiba) to present the peculiarity of the life of emigrant creators – the issues and obstacles they encounter both in Canadian society and in the Polish diaspora, as well as different individual strategies of avoiding or overcoming these problems.

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.
