Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 2001, more than 90 nations signed a treaty to reduce or possibly eliminate the production and use of the so-called dirty dozen highly toxic chemicals that accumulate in the environment. These include pesticides such as DDT and chlordane and industrial compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). All these chemicals take decades to break down, get passed along the food chain, and are hazardous to humans and animals. Over the years, at least a dozen more persistent organic pollutants have been added to the treaty’s list . Orcas, also known as killer whales, are among the most affected marine animals . A recent study led by McGill University researchers found that the North Atlantic Ocean orcas they studied that mostly ate fish were less contaminated than orcas that preyed on marine mammals such as seals and dolphins ( Environ. Sci. Technol. 2023, DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.3c05516 ). In the Canadian Arctic Ocean,

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.
