Crossroads: Historians and Scholarship for an Uncertain World
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From May 28 to May 30, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University hosted the 91st annual meeting of the\nCanadian Historical Association. But delegates’ introduction to the region had started on Sunday when the Laurier Centre for\nMilitary, Strategic and Disarmament Studies provided 36 people with a first hand look at the War of 1812 battlefields in the\nNiagara peninsula. Later in the day a small but enthusiastic audience which included Aboriginal experts from the Ohsweken\nGenealogical Society examined the interplay of history and genealogy as a means of understanding the contested history of\nthe First Nations in southern Ontario. These events set the stage for a busy three days of papers, round tables, keynote addresses\nand social interaction.

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.
