Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

INSIDE JEB Finches can lose weight without dieting or exercisingCarrying around a few extra pounds might not seem like a big deal to most.While it's important for humans and other mammals to maintain a healthy body weight, it may be even more important for birds.Flying becomes more difficult if the birds are heavy: they are less manoeuvrable and unable to accelerate as quickly, leaving them vulnerable to predators.Conversely, being too light could leave them vulnerable to starvation if food becomes scarce.But how birds sense and then adjust their weight so that they can fly but not starve remains a mystery.To unravel this question, Brett Hodinka and Tony Williams of Simon Fraser University, Canada, teamed up with Lewis Halsey of the University of Roehampton, UK, to see if zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) lose weight by behaving differently when they suddenly find themselves heavier than before.

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.

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.
