Abstract
Jacques van Ypersele de Strihou is a discrete person but well-known in Belgian and international\npolitical and economic circles. After an outstanding academic career at the Universities of Namur,\nLeuven and Louvain and then at Yale in the United States where he gained a PhD, he started out\nhis professional life as an official at the International Monetary Fund. He then returned to Belgium\nwhere he held important posts in various Finance Ministers’ cabinets. He played a major role in\nEuropean and international monetary negotiations, notably in his capacity as President of the\nEuropean Monetary Committee when the European Monetary System was being set up. Later, as\nhead of Prime Minister Wilfried Martens’ cabinet, he was one of the architects of the 1982\ndevaluation of the Belgian franc. Discretion and modesty prevented Jacques van Ypersele from\ntalking about himself much. He took some convincing before agreeing to be interviewed. The end\nresult was these three interviews which took place at his home between June and October 2015\nwhich he re-read the following summer. We were also given access to his private archives, the\nsource of the documents published in the Annex.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
