Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Google Scholar Google Preview WorldCat For more than 30 years, my goal in teaching has always been to make important but sometimes difficult subjects (think statistics, scientific writing) accessible and palatable to beginning students, with entertaining lectures and step‐by‐step procedures. One of my old professors once told me that fear and loathing are the major impediments to learning, and I agree. The textbooks that I chose over the years exemplified that approach (think Alcock's Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach [Alcock 2009]), and were wildly popular with the students. My course evaluations confirmed the apparent success of that MO, but now that I have read through Westneat and Fox's new Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology (EBE), I am rethinking the way I teach—for good reasons. More on that later.

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.
