Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Willie the cat doesn't know it, but he made history. Willie was the first pet to receive funding from the Farley Foundation. On January 9, the Foundation agreed to cover part of the cost of bladder stone surgery for the 4-year-old cat. The Farley Foundation was established by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) in December 2001. The name of the foundation was selected as a tribute to Farley, the beloved English sheepdog that appeared in Lynn Johnston's syndicated comic strip, For Better or For Worse®. Pets are good for our physical and psychological well-being. This is particularly true for the elderly or people with disabilities who may depend heavily on their pets for companionship. That's why the Foundation finances needed medical care for pets belonging to low-income seniors and people with disabilities. As of February 28, 7 veterinary clinics have received funding from the Farley Foundation to treat 4 dogs and 3 cats for a variety of medical conditions, including diabetes, fractured bones, and bladder stone surgery. The Foundation will provide up to $500 per veterinary clinic per calendar year. Treatment must be provided in Ontario by a practice with at least one OVMA member. Interested in learning more about the Farley Foundation or promoting it to others? The Foundation publishes a brochure that veterinarians are encouraged to display in their hospital. Contact Laura Sharp at 1-800-670-1702 to obtain copies of these brochures. The Farley Foundation is a registered charity and accepts donations by Visa, Mastercard, or cheque. Receipts are issued for any donation of $10 or more. For more information, or to make a donation, call 1-800-670-1702, or visit the Farley Foundation web site at www.farleyfoundation.org.

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.
