Unique species within the boreal caribou distribution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Raster files related to the presence (value of 1) or absence (value of 0) of a species at risk distribution, for seven species/populations considered by the project to be 'unique' to the boreal caribou distribution. The definition of uniqueness was based on thresholding the proportion of the Canada-wide species distribution that falls within the boreal caribou distribution, and the proportion of the boreal caribou distribution that is covered by the species distribution. The file representing the presence of any of the seven species/population distributions is: bio_unique_species.tif Species / populations considered were: Acipenser fulvescens (lake sturgeon), Western Hudson Bay population: bio_unique_species_Acipenser-fulvescens_WesternHudsonBay.tif Bison bison athabascae (wood bison): bio_unique_species_Bison-bison-bison.tif Bison bison bison (plains bison): bio_unique_species_Bison-bison-bison.tif Bucephala islandica (Barrow's goldeneye), Eastern population: bio_unique_species_Bucephala-islandica_Eastern.tif Grus americana (whooping crane): bio_unique_species_Grus-americana.tif Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon), Quebec Eastern North Shore population: bio_unique_species_Salmo-salar_QuebecEasternNorthShore.tif Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon), Quebec Western North Shore population: bio_unique_species_Salmo-salar_QuebecWesternNorthShore.tif Sources Acipenser fulvescens (lake sturgeon), Western Hudson Bay population The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. 2017.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
