Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Jules Verne had never travelled to India. Yet in five of his books India plays an important role. Three have reference, direct or indirect, to the Indian uprising of 1857 against the British. In two ot these—Around the World in Eighty Days (the only book by Verne on India not distorted in translation) and The Begum's Fortune (under the titles The Begum's Riches and The Five Hundred Million of the Begum) Verne talks of light things which may be attributable to a fascination for the exotic.

Nothing else in Twenty Thousand Leagues marks out the awesome builder and master of the mind-boggling submarine, Nautilus, as an Indian. He speaks to his incredibly loyal fellow submariners in a language that sounds strange to Professor Aronnax's ears. This Professor, a French naturalist, who along with his servant and a Canadian harpooner become guest-prisoners on the Nautilus, lists the world-famous authors, artists, masters of music which he finds in

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
