Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The sounds of the turning machinery and propulsion systems from commercial ships are ubiquitous in the temperate deep ocean basins. The vertical structure of seawater temperature, salinity, and pressure conspire to create nearly lossless underwater propagation conditions at 10’s and 100’s of Hz, the frequency band where diesel engines and generators, cavitating propellers, and turning gearboxes produce their peak acoustic energy. In the shallow waters of the continental margins, the human use of the ocean for transport, fishing, recreation, and construction has led to increasing levels of anthropogenic noise over the last century. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, the reduction of economic activity and marine traffic resulted in a decrease in underwater noise, with observations made at a number of underwater listening stations and autonomous recording devices across the ocean basins. These measurements, along with ship track data provided by the automated identification system (AIS) and trade and shipping statistics, improve our knowledge of the relationship between acoustic energy, the marine acoustic habitat, and the various human uses of the ocean.

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.
