Abstract
In October 2006, Edmonton became the first city in Canada to host a literary festival completely devoted to the genre of creative nonfiction. Edmonton LitFest – the shorthand title for the Edmonton International Literary Festival – remains one of the few festivals in the world to address the themes, content, and issues inherent in the amorphous writing style that has embraced such names as Gonzo journalism, participatory journalism, memoir, life writing and literary journalism. The 2007 edition of Edmonton LitFest, taking the theme of Hot North!, was expanded to four days, Oct. 11-14, 2008, with a focus on adventure, aboriginal peoples, resources and exploration, exile and lost souls, and climate change and environment. The authors on the international guest list included Edith Iglauer, Rudy Wiebe, Barbara Kingscote, Susan Aglukark, George Monbiot, Andrew Nikiforuk, Elizabeth Kolbert, Nancy Wachowich, Rhoda Katsak, Tom Radford, Janice Williamson, Joyce Dene, Debbie Marshall, Ken McGoogan, David Solway, Anthony Dalton, and Melanie McGrath.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
