Abstract
This study employs deep learning methodologies to conduct sentiment analysis of tweets related to the Cullen Commission’s inquiry into money laundering in British Columbia. The investigation utilizes CNN, RNN + LSTM, GloVe, and BERT algorithms to analyze sentiment and predict sentiment classes in public reactions when the Commission was announced and after the final report’s release. Results reveal that the emotional class “joy” predominated initially, reflecting a positive response to the inquiry, while “sadness” and “anger” dominated after the report, indicating public dissatisfaction with the findings. The algorithms consistently predicted negative, neutral, and positive sentiments, with BERT showing exceptional precision, recall, and F1-scores. However, GloVe displayed weaker and less consistent performance. Criticisms of the Commission’s efforts relate to its inability to expose the full extent of money laundering, potentially influenced by biased testimonies and a narrow investigation scope. The public’s sentiments highlight the awareness raised by the Commission and underscore the importance of its recommendations in combating money laundering. Future research should consider broader stakeholder perspectives and objective assessments of the findings.

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 it
