Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Dear editor, I do not agree with the Letter to the Editor in the May issue of The Canadian Veterinary Journal (Can Vet J 2015;56:433) about the horses on Sable Island. These are indeed wild horses, not domesticated ones. They became wild horses in the same way that those in western North America became wild, by being abandoned by humans hundreds of years ago. Their habitat is no more hostile than that of other wild herds. That they are doing as well as any population of wild animals, and their feed is adequate for health, is shown by the rapid increase in their numbers. The herd grew from a few abandoned horses to over 400 and growing. Currently, they have no predators and because of the limited human contact, no exposure to infectious equine diseases. If we increase human contact, along with feed, shelters, etc., eventually diseases to which these horses have no immunity will be introduced. The last thing these horses need is a bunch of do-gooders invading their habitat to try to “save” them.

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.
