Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Research in comparative cognition has increasingly focused on the evolutionary origins of cognitive variation.This approach has diversified the species studied and increased awareness of biological predispositions that affect cognition, but at the cost of dissociating comparative research from more mainstream cognitive science studies.Alternative approaches that focus more on basic principles can potentially foster a fresh rapprochement between human and animal cognition researchers.Studies of cognitive exotica, in particular, may yield important insights into how animals (including humans) cognize.

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.
