Abstract
In 2010, Dr. Jack Hallam, an octogenarian currently living on Salt Spring Island, generously endowed Brock University’s Department of Sociology with the $50,000 Jack Hallam Animal Rights Award, which will provide two scholarships for students registered in Critical Animal Studies. Dr. Hallam also contributed towards the “Thinking About Animals” conference which was held at Brock University on March 31 and April 1, 2011. This conference was organized in collaboration with the Institute for Critical Animal Studies and Brock is especially proud to celebrate this as the tenth annual ICAS conference. John Sorenson talked with Dr. Hallam about the award and his commitment to animal rights and other social justice issues.

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.
