British and American Canals c.1763 - 1825: Connectivity, Continuity and Change
Bibliographic record
Abstract
À la fin du dix-huitième siècle et au début du dix-neuvième, on a beaucoup écrit sur les canaux britanniques et américains.Malgré cela, la documentation analyse rarement ce sujet dans une perspective transatlantique plus large.Les auteurs avancent ici l'argument que les voies de navigation des deux côtés de l'océan reflétaient la connectivité, la continuité et le changement qui s'opéraient dans les relations anglo-américaines entre 1763 et 1825.En effet, l'an 1763 a marqué la fin de la guerre de Sept Ans et 1825 a vu l'achèvement du canal Érié.La guerre et la révolution ont caractérisé cette période des deux côtés de l'Atlantique.Notre article, qui fusionne deux exposés présentés en 2014 dans le cadre de la conférence de la North American Society for Oceanic History, porte essentiellement sur les interactions socioculturelles et économiques.1 This article links two presentations delivered at the North American Society of Oceanic History annual conference at Erie, Pennsylvania, 14-17 May 2014.They were "Surpassing the Mother Country of Improvement: The Cultural Stakes of Canal Building in the Early United States" by Daniel Kanhofer, and "Waterways as Conduits of Empire: Merseyside Canals during the American Revolutionary Era" by Simon Hill.The latter thanks Liverpool John Moores University Postgraduate Travel Fund for helping him attend this gathering.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
