Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

KAI Inc. is a seed-stage company established in November 2019 with a focus on improving animals' quality of life. Initially, they developed feeding devices and systems, animal play equipment, and exercise promotion systems. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of zoos, prompting KAI Inc. to pivot. They decided to create an "Online Zoo" concept, which emerged from an accelerator program they participated in. Through collaboration with Shirotori Zoo in Kagawa Prefecture, they conducted a survey in April 2021 to gather feedback from potential users. The study involved constructing a causality model and conducting Bayesian network analysis to understand user preferences, desired animals to see, and acceptable viewing prices. The findings helped clarify the target audience, preferred animals, and pricing, serving as the foundation for developing a business plan.

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.
