Bibliographic record
Abstract
Late 1950s, American writer Jack Kerouac publishes his novel On the road which completely change the perception of literature: 120-foot-long scroll of teletype paper, written in three weeks and using the technique of stream of conciousness, the novel narrate a story about Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty who are travelling around theUSA, inspired by Kerouac's own experience. The book has a roaring success and play an important role in forming a groupe of writers known as "beatniks". Almost 30 years later, Jacques Poulin publishes his sixth novel Volkswagen blues, story about a Canadian-francophone writer and a young Indian woman crossing the northamerican continent in order to find a lost brother. The objective of this thesis is to shed light on the influence of Kerouac's autobiographical narration on Poulin's work and analyse deeply the role of this American idol in the Canadian-francophone literature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
