Howell’s lecture covered the history of the first ten years of the Hockey Conference, estimating that over 250 presentations on hockey scholarship were delivered over that time. The conference was held in various locations across North America, including Halifax, NS, Bridgewater, MA, Victoria, BC, and Buffalo, NY. Keynote speakers, also known as Conference Captains, have included Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau, Olympian Stacy Wilson, African-Canadian coach John Paris Jr., former professional Everett Sanipass, and actor and broadcaster Austin Willis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
