The CHR is publishing the papers presented at the François-Xavier Garneau Prize roundtable, which takes place during the Canadian Historical Association's annual congress. The François-Xavier Garneau Medal, awarded every five years, is the most prestigious of the CHA prizes, honouring an outstanding Canadian contribution to historical research. The roundtable provides the opportunity for historians in the field to discuss the winning study's contribution from multiple perspectives. The 2010 winner was John C. Weaver's The Great Land Rush and the Making of the Modern World, 1650-1900 , published by McGill-Queen's University Press, 2003. La CHR publie les interventions faites lors d'une table ronde organisée pour la remise de la médaille François-Xavier-Garneau, qui s'est tenue lors de la rencontre annuelle de la Société historique du Canada.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
