Pechiney in Becancour: altering the course of aluminum production in Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cet article cherche principalement à expliquer pourquoi le Québec a connu une explosion de la production d’aluminium primaire à la fin du XX e siècle. Quatre axes sont développés : 1. Les producteurs historiques d’aluminium primaire au Québec sont apparus lors de la première moitié du XX e siècle suite à l’obtention de droits hydrauliques pour produire leur propre électricité. 2. Pechiney a été la première multinationale productrice d’aluminium à mettre en place une fonderie au Québec sans détenir ces droits hydrauliques. 3. L’arrivée de Pechiney a coïncidé avec une politique tarifaire en opposition à la rationalisation progressive des tarifs de l’électricité d’Hydro-Québec après la nationalisation majeure de 1963. 4. Les remises généreuses accordées pour Pechiney sur l’électricité se sont étendues à d’autres producteurs et ont conduit à une augmentation marquée de la production d’aluminium primaire au Québec entre 1984 et 2007.

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.
