Bibliographic record
Abstract
I first heard of the First SOil: Portraits by C. D. Hoy photography exhibit months before seeing it.CBC Radio was interviewing the exhibition's curator in the spring; it was August by the time I was next in the Outaouais area able to visit the Museum of Civilization.The curator, Faith Moosang, spoke lively about C. D. Hoy, revealing her excitement over the photographs and her ability to present them to Canadians.Hoy, who emigrated from China in the early 1900s at the age of seventeen, was a local merchant and the first professional portrait photographer in post gold msh interior British Columbia.He came to Canada because, as the firstbom son of his poor family, he had to find a way to support them.The way in which the curator spoke about the exhibit, her descriptions of the honesty and simplicity of Hoy's images, and the hardships and perseverance of being a photographer at that time -in that context -peaked my curiosity.Yet, I felt unfulfilled after going to the exhibit.It was not Hoy's images that made me feel this way; his images are 11ch and fascinating.Rather it was the coldness and simplicity of the display in general that left me wanting more.Wllat initially bothered me was the location of the exhibit deep in the bowels of the museum.The Museum of Civilization was not the original venue for the exhibition, and its final home will be in Hoy's community of Barkerville, British Columbia.However, the fact that this museum is accustomed to traveling exhibits, I expected better visibility and directions.It took my husband and I a lengthy bout of confused maze walking before we finally found a poster about the exhibit (this was the first advertisement we had come across in the museum about the display, and it was hidden behind some escalators).The an-ow on the poster further led us along twisting corridors and (bafflingly) empty rooms before settling us at our destination.The images were housed in a room that was large and bright enough to properly display them and accommodate large groups of visitors, although my husband and I were the only ones present.I am afraid that our experience locating the exhibition was not unique, but others may not have been so lucky to find it.The wall at the entrance of the exhibit introduced the photographer and contained images of C. D. Hoy, his family, and the buildings which housed his merchant businesses.The written synopsis, however, was simple and superficial, telling the visitor little about the man's biography and why his images were impoltant to display.This first section of the exhibit -which is the most important part, as it is meant to attract people to the rest of the display -did not 'hook' me the way

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.
