Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Au printemps 2024 paraît l’ultime numéro de la version canadienne du Reader's Digest qui avait lancé ses deux filiales canadiennes française et anglaise en juillet 1947 et février 1948. Née près de New York en 1922, elle est présente très tôt au Canada et sait tirer profit du conflit mondial pour accroître sa notoriété puis, après-guerre, tenter de se fondre dans le paysage culturel canadien – même s’il faut attendre les années 1970 pour que les deux filiales s'émancipent quelque peu de la tutelle de la maison-mère. Si cette histoire du Reader's Digest est assez souvent évoquée, celle de la douzaine d'autres « digestes » canadiens s'inspirant du mensuel américain est, en revanche, beaucoup moins connue. Ces digestes agissent comme un sismographe de l'histoire canadienne du milieu du 20e siècle. Du format aux condensés, du prix à la qualité du papier, cet article s’efforce aussi de cerner les caractéristiques de ce « genre littéraire » du siècle écoulé pour en proposer une définition viable.

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.
