Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Audio recording and transcript of Ike Aitken's 1979 interview with Myrtle Bergren for the Coal Tyee History Project. Aitken shares stories from his family's long history with coal mining, both in the Nanaimo area and in Nova Scotia. He describes some of his own jobs in the mines, where he started in about 1925. He explains at length how coal was weighed, and the different ways that miners were paid. Aitken's daughter, Lois Perkins, also participates in the interview.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
