Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The war of 1814-16 gave the British very great respect for their military powers. They began to enlist Gurkhas in the army almost immediately after the conclusion of the war. During the whole period of British rule, however, the desire to attract Gurkha volunteers was the principal reason why the Government of India cultivated friendly relations with Nepal. The term Gurkha is applied to the majority of the inhabitants of Nepal, but strictly speaking it belongs to those races which formed part of the old Kingdom of Gurkha, a comparatively small part of the country. Lord Hardinge also praised the Gurkha regiments, and Lord Dalhousie the Governor-General strongly recommended their employment in the Indian Army. The story of the Gurkha’s bravery and dependability had not only been recognized in other parts of the world, they were greatly sought after, in the different provinces of India, in the princely states and in Burma.

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.
