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.

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.
