Abstract
This field session begins with a walking tour of the Old City which will reveal a fascinating mix of architectural influences which characterize this historic city which first served as capital of New France and then capital of British North America. We will view French merchant’s houses in the lower town, before visiting the first Catholic Cathedral built North of Mexico, and the first Anglican Cathedral built outside the British Isles. We will also see the magnificent courtyard of the Seminary, before beginning a more extensive visit of the Ursuline Convent. One of the oldest institutions in Québec, the Ursuline Convent continues today in the educational role for which it was first established, housing one of the finest girls ’ schools in the city. The Ursuline nuns, who came to Quebec in 1639 to educate Amerindian girls and French girls in the settlement, established their convent and school on their site in the upper town in 1642. Buildings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are arranged around enclosed courtyards and a portion of the nun’s extensive gardens have survived, offering a green haven in the heart of the Old City. The Ursuline school offers its students an exceptional cultural environment. During your tour of this historic convent you will have the opportunity to learn about recent restoration work and visit the Ursuline Museum with its collections, which include exceptional altar frontals dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, embroidered with silver and gold threads and the finest silks. A highlight of our visit will be the Ursuline Chapel which contains the oldest sculptural ensemble which has survived since the French regime, dating from the 1720s and 30s, as well paintings from France that came to Canada after the French Revolution.

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
