Feature Story: Biology student goes fishing for answers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the biggest Walleye tournaments in Saskatchewan takes place this weekend on Tobin Lake near Nipawin, Sask and Master’s student Jessica Butt will be there. She’s not competing but doing research. Butt is examining the movement of walleye and sauger after they are caught and released during angling tournaments like the one in Nipawin. “Angling is such a huge part of the culture in Saskatchewan. I’ve been tagging fish at angling tournaments around Saskatchewan this summer and you can see how important these competitions are to people,” says Butt. “We want to know where these fish go after they’re released. Do they leave the release site? Do they return to the area they were captured? Do they even survive?”
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
