Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I undertook a study to identify if a relationship between forest stand age and fire containment probability, identified previously in Alberta, existed in Ontario. I developed a Time Since Fire (TSF) for Ontario, estimating the total years that had passed since a large fire occurred in an area to the time a new fire occurred in the perimeter of the historic burn. I studied fire containment probability in C-2 (boreal spruce) stands in Ontario in relation to the TSF. I built a simulation model to assess the viability of aggregating conifer fuels in Ontario. I built an aggregate conifer fuel type dataset for Ontario to test for relationships with fire containment probability and TSF. I identified a relationship between fire containment probability and TSF in Ontario: increasing TSF was found to negatively impact fire containment probability for fires occurring in fuels with a conifer component.

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.
