Conservation Challenges of Assam-Type Colonial Architecture at MC College, Sylhet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
MC College, Sylhet displaying the region's Assam-type colonial architecture, this building is symbolic of the area's thriving educational and cultural past. These buildings were erected in the first quarter of the 20th century and have characteristic corrugated-iron roofing, wooden and half-brick, half-concrete walls, reflecting both colonial influence and the need to adapt construction to local seismic and climatic conditions. But these monuments are now threatened by forces of destruction, neglect and dilapidation, as well as the realities of urbanization. Their non-maintenance, termites, and moisture on top of unavailability of old construction elements add other woes in their existence. Though they are of historical significance and their architecture is sturdy, immediate action is needed to avoid irreparable damage. This research attempts to investigate the present condition of the Assam-type buildings at MC College, the conservation barriers that should be addressed and suggestions have been made to promote sustainable preservation and policy supports along with community participations on adaptive re-uses in order to protect this unique architectural heritage for next generations.

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.
