Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canadian researchers, politicians and security services have expressed concern regarding the rise of the “far right.” However, it remains unclear whether this has also translated into an increase in violence motivated by far-right beliefs. Examining the period between 1990 and 2020, this study uncovers a chronic level of severe violence occurring across Canada. Despite a significant decline in violence being perpetrated by those affiliated with organized far-right groups, more recently there has been an increase in the overall number of attacks. The following provides a baseline of knowledge that better informs policy decisions, and builds a platform for future studies.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
