Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As in any developed country, light pollution is a serious problem in Quebec. However, a specific cultural and economical situation forces us to use new tactics when it is time to discuss this problem. As an example, using energy loss as an argument against light pollution is very inefficient since the electricity is cheap (US$0.04/kWh) and clean (hydroelectricity). On the other hand, using the negative ecological impacts of light pollution appears to be the most effective way to create awareness in the population.

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.
