Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Labour remains a thorny issue in South Africa's agricultural industry, and the livestock sector has not been spared. Cost is a major issue that affects the profitability of farms countrywide. Before we focus on the cost of labour specifically in the livestock industry, it is imperative to consider the bigger picture. The unemployment rate in South Africa for the third quarter of 2016 was estimated at 26,6%. Roughly translated, this figure means that just over a quarter of the labour force is actively looking for a job, but cannot find one. Not everyone is aware of the expanded definition of unemployment, which includes individuals who have stopped looking for work. This figure brings the total to 36,4% for the third quarter of 2016. This then translates to 36,4% of the nation's able-bodied workers not working.

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.
