A window on The International Environmetrics Society: The first 25 international conferences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 25th international conference of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) was held in 2015. The conferences have been an integral part of the development of TIES and of the society's official journal, Environmetrics, since the concurrent inception of the society and journal at the first conference in 1989. The conferences are documented in chronological order, with more description of the early conferences because many features were set at these conferences. Some common features are included for all conferences, and only new or particularly relevant components are mentioned for later conferences. This development is then drawn on to discuss the character, contributors, and evolution of the conferences in the context of TIES as a society with the aim of fostering the development and use of quantitative methods in solving environmental problems through collaboration among individuals in different disciplines and types of organizations.
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 machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
