Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The unmarked Potter’s Field at the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery was the burial place of nearly 400 people between 1864 and 1976. Many people interred in this section were societally disenfranchised based on their race or their economic circumstances. By utilizing micro-histories, this article presents new and diverse interpretations of the lived experiences of poverty in nineteenth-century Ontario, focusing on death in particular. Narratives relating to the unhoused, victims of infanticide, the formerly enslaved, transient labourers during the Great Depression, and those impacted by the discriminatory Chinese Head Tax are all considered. This article illustrates the ways that previously marginalized histories can be brought into national conversations when considering the nuance and specificity associated with death, burial, and memorialization.

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.
