Abstract
A presentation and playback of a composition and accompanying visuals at a British Library event - related video in link."Unlocking Our Sound Heritage: Preserve, Inspire, Enable"An all-day conference will conclude the ambitious five-year, UK-wide project Unlocking Our Sound Heritage. The project, partly funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, has preserved, provided access, and raised awareness and enjoyment of thousands of the UK’s rare and unique sound recordings at the British Library and at 10 hub partners across the UK.With an exciting programme of talks, performances and discussions that will bring together voices from across the heritage sector, this conference will take you through this journey and will explore the value of sound archives and ask what else needs to be done to save sound heritage. Themes will include:• Preserve: learn about the nuts and bolts of preserving sounds and enabling access through digitisation, cataloguing and copyright• Inspire: hear the different ways we involved and engaged audiences with sound heritage and listen to creative performances from artists who transformed archival recordings• Enable: join the discussion about the future of sound heritage and hear from voices across the sectorThursday February 9th, Canada Water Theatre, London

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
