Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Orang-utans may be perfectly adapted for swinging through trees, but new observations suggest they also spend a surprising amount of time hanging out on the ground. With their long, strong arms and short bowed legs, it's easy to see why orang-utans are considered the most arboreal of all great apes. But male Bornean orangs have been known to sometimes climb down to the ground. To find out just how often the apes leave the canopy, Brent Loken at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, and colleagues placed a network of ground-based cameras across a 38-square-kilometer region of forest in north-eastern Indonesian Borneo. Remarkably, they found that orang-utans were almost as likely to be caught on camera as a ground-welling primate called the pig-tailed macaque, which is roughly as abundant as orang-utans in the forests. The macaques were photographed 113 times over an eight-month period, the orang-utans 110 times.

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.
