Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Both of these I sing unaccompanied, and both I learned from Stephen Sedley‟s The Seeds of Love (Essex Music Limited in association with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, 1967). Sedley condenses his text of “Young Benjie” from a longer version in Scott‟s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1803), collated with a fragment printed by Buchan. The tune is from Albyn‟s Anthology (1816), reprinted by Bernard Bronson. I have changed one or two words in the text („drowned‟ instead of „dang‟, „endure‟ instead of „drie‟, „ease‟ instead of „scug‟).

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.
