Abstract
W ELCOM EFor the first time, Prince Edward Island is host to the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Acoustical Association/ l'Association Canadienne d'Acoustique (CAA-ACA).It has been more than 12 years since the meeting has taken place in Atlantic Canada. .What a special opportunity for people in the Maritime provinces to attend the meeting and for others "from away" to visit It has been an exciting challenge to serve as convener for this meeting.It is a privilege to welcome you all and to introduce these 2002 Conference Proceedings. CO NFERENCE THEM EProgress in acoustics improves our lives in so many ways.Undeniably, acoustics provides a bridge to the future.Thus, Acoustics: Bridge to the Future supplies the conference theme, taking its inspiration from the Confederation Bridgelinking PEI to the mainland-and creating one of Canada's greatest engineering feats and architectural spectacles.The con ference program shows that knowledge of acoustics forges new paths in domains as diverse as human communication, classroom design, noise control, audio engineering, audiology, underwater defence and exploration, and music perception.The 2002 Meeting reflects the diversity of acoustics disciplines, and the industrial, university, and government settings where activities in acoustics occur. Regional EmphasisSeveral themes close to the spirit of the province of PEI help to make the programme unique.Education is highly valued and a special session on classroom acoustics has been organized by CAA/ACA President John Bradley, of IRC, National Research Council, at the informal request of a member of the PEI Department of Education, Cheryl Perry.The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) is home to the only Veterinary College in Atlantic Canada, and animal welfare is also of great concern to Islanders.Representing this theme is a session on animal bioacoustics organized by Dr. Cathy Ryan of the Department of Psychology UPEI.Island life means proximity to the sea and two excellent sessions on under water acoustics have been organized by Francine Desharnais and John Osier of Defence R& D Canada -Atlantic.Consistent with the importance of music to Island life and culture are sessions on Music Perception and Cognition, as well as musical performances presented throughout the meeting.Tranquility is one of the attractions of the Island, and several sessions on noise control and on environmental noise remind us of the importance of the commodity of quietness. Keynote Addresses and Plenary SessionsHighlighting the meeting are the keynote addresses presented by two eminent scientists with strong Atlantic ties.Dr. Harold Merklinger will open the meeting with the delivery of the first plenary lecture.He is the recently retired Director General of Defence Research and Development Canada -Atlantic (formerly DREA) and is an expert in the field of under water acoustics.Dr. Floyd Toole will deliver the plenary lecture on the final day of the meeting.He is currently the Corporate Vice President Audio Engineering of Harman International Industries Inc.Dr. Toole, who was born in New Brunswick, was a scientist for many years in the Acoustics and Signal Processing Group at the National Research Council in Ottawa prior to his current position.A third plenary session describes six multidisciplinary projects involving acoustics, recently made possible through the Canada Foundation for Innovation.Elsewhere on the program, another new collaborative program in Culture, Communication and Information Technology directed by William F. Thompson is announced.The conference program in general provides abundant evidence of acoustical bridges to the future and owes much to all those who contributed their work for presentation at the meeting.

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.
