Abstract
First posted November 23, 2007 Revised January 30, 2018 For additional information, contact: Contact CVO Volcano Science Center, Cascades Volcano ObservatoryU.S. Geological Survey1300 SE Cardinal Court, Building 10, Suite 100 Vancouver, WA 98683-9589 http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/ This set of videos presents about 18 hours of footage documenting the 163 experiments conducted at the USGS debris-flow flume from 1992 to 2017. Owing to improvements in video technology over the years, the quality of footage from recent experiments generally exceeds that from earlier experiments.Use the list below to access the individual videos, which are mostly grouped by date and subject matter. When a video is selected from the list, multiple video sequences are generally shown in succession, beginning with a far-field overview and proceeding to close-up views and post-experiment documentation.Interpretations and data from experiments at the USGS debris-flow flume are not provided here but can be found in published reports, many of which are available online at: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/richard-m-iverson?qt-staff_profile_science_products=3#qt-staff_profile_science_productsA brief introduction to the flume facility is also available online in USGS Open-File Report 92–483 [https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr92483].

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
