Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As Lindley and Srinavasan note regarding film, “Particular cinematic devices can be used to create different connotations or subtextual meanings while dealing with similar diegetic material ” [5]. In language, different ‘illocutionary forces’ create different meaning from the same ‘propositional content. ’ However, linguistic philosopher J.R. Searle thinks this points not to infinite elasticity of meaning, but rather to five kinds of speech acts that encompass meaning production. Each of these analyses, the cinematically-oriented and the language-focused, holds lessons for a computational semiotics that seeks to richly reflect reality (and imagination) and be usefully human- and machine-manipulable; context and convention are pivotal to both. This paper examines the productive comparisons and contrasts that the disjunctions and intersections of these approaches afford.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
