Anthropology of Outer Space: Familiar Scales, Strange Sites (CFP, AAA 2015)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This panel aims to investigate the meanings, limits, and possibilities of expanding our anthropological fieldwork into space. At stake is an understanding of how human activity in space increasingly shapes possible human futures both on and off planet Earth. We ask: What are the constraints and potentialities of interrogating outer space in this emerging era of science, imagination, exploration, and settlement?Keywords:Robotics, History, Future Studies, Geography, Environmental Science, Physics, Space Sciences, Economics, Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, Political Economy, Ontology, Tourism Studies, Social Sciences, Political Ecology, Astrobiology, Exoplanets, STS, Environmental Sustainability, Social Studies Of Science, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Astroanthropology, Infrastructure, Call for PapersPlease cite as:Oman-Reagan, Michael P. and Kira Turner. 2015.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
