Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Orcas: Our Shared Future (curated through the Royal British Columbia Museum) uses the silhouette of an orca whale's tail as an archway entrance to the multi-room exhibition.This archway immediately frames and invites visitors into a multisensory exhibition that intermingles multiple interpretations of these creatures.Throughout the exhibition, one is immersed in the sounds of water, orca recordings, and lights that mimic watery reflections.In the first room, a visitor encounters the brilliant two-meter-long wooden sculpture, Feast Dish (1960), by the Kwakwaka'wakw artist Nakapenkem (Chief Mungo Martin) .The whale, carved from cedar wood and painted, as the caption tells us, is a "crest of the host" symbolizing the chief 's wealth and oceanic riches.Throughout the exhibition, visitors see orca whales informed by a balance between scientific and Indigenous renderings, and, in what seems like a deliberate move, sometimes conflating them.The second room brings you to a multiscreen film of water.In this space, sculptures of orcas are in suspended animation above, each named as an individual with its own personality.From J Pod, a group of orcas that researchers have been observing for decades in the Salish Sea off the coast of British Columbia, Canada (they also travel to the waters around the San Juan Islands, USA), visitors get to "Meet the Matriarch," known as Granny, an infamous leader of J Pod for over a century, whom scientists regarded as "the knowledge keeper" of her pod.After she died in 2019, Slick the Orca took over the leadership of the pod.Another caption introduces you to Scarlet the Orca, and so on, as each family member of J Pod has an individual role and personality.The next few rooms further present orcas as people, from Indigenous people

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.
