Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

King discusses the potential of tracking wildlife with the help of sniffer dogs. Ten years ago, Louise Wilson gave up a job in marketing to train sniffer dogs. It was a bold decision. This is a male dominated, ex-military oriented world, and the man who is now her boss, a former Royal Air Force dog-handler himself, had originally scoffed at her chances of breaking in. But Wilson was determined. What's more, she had revolutionary ideas. Not content with training dogs to sniff out explosives, drugs and bodies, as most handlers do, she was eager to test their potential in a new arena--wildlife conservation. At Wagtail on the beautiful Mostyn country estate in north Wales, UK, Wilson is working with a lithe black Labrador called Luna to find pine marten scat.

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.
