Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With the imaginary of (a) data-ghost(s), I use ideas from hauntology to speculate about what haunts pedagogical documentation. By re-turning to an example of documentation of young children encountering a hatchery where eggs incubated into chicks, I notice the absences of what was not documented as hauntings. With performative and playful writing, I speculate with artworks and dialogue as a way of speaking of, to, and with ghosts. By thinking with the relationships between past/present/future, I ponder what inheritances, response-abilities, and possibilities emerge. Through slowing down with data-ghost(s), I speculate with what haunts and hauntings’ call for something-to-be-done to imagine what becomes possible for practices in the present and future for classroom practice and teacher education.

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.
