At Play in the Fields of Museologists: Two Years at the Canadian War Museum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ross Ellis was one of those young men who stepped forward during the Second World War to create the First Canadian Army. In many ways he was typical of those who provided the backbone of the officer corps. But as a subaltern, then a company commander, and finally the Commanding Officer of the Calgary Highlanders through some of the most difficult and terrible battles of the war in Northwest Europe, he was untypical in that he was a natural leader with an instinctive grasp of tactics, a man of courage and perseverance and compassion who made his regiment into what David Bercuson called it, “a battalion of heroes.” I think it most appropriate that this Centre and this University should honour Ross Ellis with an annual lecture, and I am greatly honoured to be asked to give the third Ellis Lecture.

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.
