Abstract
Accent is one of the major factors that influences the impression of a speech. To see whether there is a meaningful relationship between lectures given in a non-Standard American English (nSAE) accent and applause at the end of each lecture, randomly-assigned 112 lecturers at the University of Toronto were observed. As predicted, lectures given in the nSAE accent did not in general receive applause regardless of the class size, class duration, etc. whereas those given in the SAE accent either received or not received applause, suggesting that other independent variables are at work in this case. While this result indirectly supports previous studies that confirmed a positive relationship between accented speech and its negative evaluation, it further illustrates that a speech given in the nSAE accent may subtly influence the social behavior of the perceiver toward the speech in question.

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
