Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For my thesis, I studied National Prohibition, an era of Vermont history with a nation-wide backdrop. My research drew sources from a variety of physical and digital collections, including UVM’s own Silver Special Collections. What I found was Vermont occupied a unique position during Prohibition. An international thruway for smugglers moving from Canada, with prohibition violations dominating every courtroom. But Vermont’s history of state prohibition built a deep belief in around half of the population that alcohol was a community destroying sin, and violators were caught and punished. Often overlooked in the literature, Vermonters’ stories have a lot to offer.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
