Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Guay et al. (2000.Can.J.Fish.Aquat.Sci.57:2065–2075) report a test of numerical habitat models (NHMs) that combine two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling of the depth and velocity fields of a stream reach with simple biological models. The hydrodynamic model was tested with field data from randomly chosen points in the stream, and the overall models were tested with observations of fish in a "verification" section of the stream. This is a proper procedure, but the execution and interpretation of the test seem flawed, largely by a misunderstanding of the spatial scales appropriate. The NHMs used by Guay et al. make predictions for patches or "tiles" at a scale of 1–25 m2; the hydrodynamic component of the NHMs needs to be tested at the same spatial scale.

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.
