Farming, food and yam: language and cultural practices among Ikaan speakers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ikaan, a dialect of Ukaan, is spoken in two villages in south-western Nigeria. This collection investigates phonetic and phonological variation among speakers based on a documentation of language around, knowledge of and practices in food, food production and farming, with a special focus on the New Yam Festival.The data was collected by Sophie Salffner, linguist and principal investigator, Maria Tzika, visual anthropologist, and the community members themselves. The collection includes an annotated audiovisual documentation corpus with data from a wide range of speakers, but also an anthropological visual map and a series of short documentary films around the festival.\nThe picture at the top shows Janet Olusi, the most senior woman in Ayede quarter of Ikakumo (Ondo) as she is blessing the new yam that the small boys brought to her in the morning of the new yam celebrations.\nAn peer-reviewed open access overview article of the deposit can be downloaded from the journal Language Documentation & Conservation either from the webpage of the journal issue or via the direct link to the article.
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
