Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT We developed a smart phone app for hunters to report the number of moose ( Alces alces ) observed while hunting in Alberta, Canada, during 2012–2014. Excessive costs of aerial surveys often result in infrequent estimates of moose abundance, whereas hunter observations can be obtained for minimal expense. Correlations of the number of moose observed by hunters with hunter success, moose harvests, and aerial survey estimates of abundance suggest that the method offers promise as an alternative to aerial ungulate surveys. Engaging hunters with the Moose Survey app has potential to increase the spatial extent and temporal frequency of monitoring with benefits for harvest management. © 2017 The Wildlife Society.

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.
