Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Of the 91 species of Mammals reported from Nova Scotia most have undergone some form of nominal revision. This document summarizes names (both scientific and common) for these species, including those which are, in a strict sense synonyms as well as those which may have been used commonly or possibly erroneously in the past. The document includes English, French and Mi’kmaw names.  In many cases, names for similar European species had been applied to this fauna as a matter of course. This summary also includes two new additions to the provincial Mammal fauna as well as several species which have not persisted in the province.

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.

Not 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.
