Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) are migrating birds. They can transmit antibiotic resistant bacteria when they are traveling. They do this by ingesting antibiotic resistant bacteria that is on the food they eat in one area, and then excrete some of it at the next place they travel to. Retention ponds have increased amounts of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that Canada geese can pick up if they stop there while migrating. Canada geese that land at a retention pond should have an increased amount of antibiotic resistance compared to landing at a natural water source. Their feces were tested in eight different areas to determine the amount of bacteria and antibiotic resistance present. Any Escherichia coli and Salmonella that inhabit and grow in the feces were counted. The natural water sources did not grow Salmonella, but E. coli was found in everything. The E. coli was then tested with five different antibiotics to see if E. coli is resistant, intermediate, or susceptible based on where it was found. The data then determined that Canada geese are more prone to ingesting ampicillin antibiotic resistant E. coli when they land at a retention pond versus near a natural water source.

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.
