Abstract
In November 2002, the University of New Brunswick and UNB's Graduate Student Association (GSA) began an Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) pilot program. An ETD is an electronically published thesis or dissertation. By publishing ETDs on the web, a student's work is easily and quickly accessible to the research community. UNB's pilot was based on information obtained from the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, discussions with universities participating in ETD programs, and information obtained through published literature. Electronic services offered by the National Library of Canada were reviewed. An on-line editorial office is also being piloted. Both electronic editing of theses by review committee members, as well as electronic transfer and version control are being considered.

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
