Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Homesick is a memoir about growing up with a mentally ill immigrant mother in suburban Toronto. It is one family’s chronicle, a story of chaos, confusion and challenges in adversarial circumstances. The work is divided into three sections. Home is where the Heartache Lives deals with a childhood spent witnessing an acrimonious arranged marriage. You Can’t Go Home Again covers the twenty years the narrator spent living in British Columbia while attempting to maintain a distance from the immediate family. Homesick details the narrator’s return to Toronto. Themes of home, language and cultural identity are explored alongside the experience of what it means to witness a devastating disease like schizophrenia and what it feels like to endure a chronically ill family member.

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.
