Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Audio recording and transcript of Arthur Simpson's 1979 interview with Bernard McNicholl for the Coal Tyee History Project. Simpson, whose father was also a coal miner, shares memories of his experience working in the coal mines around Nanaimo. He recounts how he got his first job in the mine and also reflects on how he felt going into the mine for the first time. He talks about living in Harewood and shares his memories of the Vancouver Island Coal Miners' Strike. During the interview Simpson also talks about transportation, social activities, and Nanaimo's red-light district.

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.
