Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

If there ever was a short story that would appeal to young Canadian boys and stoke up a reading frenzy, it is Roch Carrier's classic tale of The Hockey Sweater. It is filled with humorous anecdotes about a young Quebec boy who whose favourite Montreal Canadian hockey sweater (Maurice "The Rocket" Richard no less) is worn out and by mistake is replaced with a mail-order of the Toronto Maple Leaf sweater. Oh the calamity and humiliation and the adventure of it all! So too, The Basketball Player illustrates how a young boy conquers his fear to finally excel at a sport he neither likes or wants to play. Other books include The Longest Home Run, The Boxing Champion and of course The Flying Canoe featuring eleven year-old dreamer Baptiste. Published by Tundra books, these books are a must on any boy's gift list and every school library should have multiple copies.

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.
