Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Memory in the Life of a Cajun Prairie (2017–current) is an art-science and conservation project intended to re-create a native Louisiana “Cajun” prairie, a vulnerable ecosystem found nowhere else in the world and one of the most endangered habitats in North America. To create Memory, a former soybean field at Atelier de la Nature (Arnaudville, LA) was converted to native prairie plots for carbon sequestering, biodiversity monitoring, and as a living sculpture. All activities are completed communally through citizen science events open to the public. Through this collaborative art, science, and community engagement project, we seek to sculpt the atmosphere, landscape, and society.

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.
