Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 1918, in his collection of poems titled Calligrammes, the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire employed typography and page layout to echo the themes inherent in the poetry itself. This technique resonates with his earlier articulation of a distinct vision of plasticity in his essay Les Peintres cubistes. Méditations esthétiques, written five years prior. The deliberate arrangement of words and lines within Calligrammes enhances the reader’s experience by integrating elements of both literary and visual arts. This fusion not only amplifies the visual impact but also underscores the malleability inherent in this poetic expression, akin to the materiality of plastic. Such fusion manifests through the amalgamation of words with each other, the interplay between literary and visual art forms, and the exploration of the three plastic virtues that Apollinaire delves into: purity, unity, and truth.

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.
