Feature Story: University of Regina’s largest convocation ever
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It’s the culmination of years of study – convocation, when students receive their degrees, cheered on by family and friends. The first day of the University of Regina’s 41st Annual Spring Convocation was held on Wednesday, June 3, at the Conexus Arts Centre. As the students proudly walked across the main stage, they were congratulated by Chancellor Jim Tomkins and President Vianne Timmons. In his remarks, Chancellor Tomkins talked about things that have changed since the very first Convocation held in Regina 50 years ago, at the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan, the forerunner of today’s University of Regina.

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.
