Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Language is the root of cultural identity; it is important for language survival as it is important for communities to have community members who are proud to speak their Indigenous language and be Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, First Nation, Metis, Inuit, Aboriginal, Indigenous, and Native. Speaking with my elders about nurturing Mi’kmaq language and culture is helping me to understand how we can have more Mi’kmaw speakers and healthy communities. Interviewing my elders and hearing her stories “leaves [me] with a sense of purpose, pride, and gives [me] guidance and direction. [Her] stories are of survival and resistance” (Thomas, 2005, p. 238).Mi’kmaq communities without fluent Mi’kmaq speakers can use comprehensive interactive talking dictionaries and other digital tools for revitalizing the language (Nathan, 2007; O’Donnell et al, 2010). Dictionaries are documentation devices for Mi’kmaq resurgence and “are being reconceived and explored for pedagogical potential through the use of multimedia technology” (Korne, 2009, p. 141). This is an example of the potential power of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and how ICT can be the first step to maintaining, recovering, and reclaiming our Mi’kmaq language and Indigenous paradigms because language carries culture (Smith, 2012; Wilson, 2008; Grande, 2004).

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.
