Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The dairy goat industry in Ontario is in need of benchmarking data on the raising
\nand caring for goats resulting in better welfare and production. The power of collective
\ndata cannot be overstated to benefit and advance the industry as seen in Ontario’s dairy,
\nswine and poultry industries. The goal of this thesis is to create a framework for the design
\nbehind a research facility dedicated to dairy goats with the animals as the main priority.
\nAs a dairy goat farmer and an architecture graduate student, I believe my experiences
\nand knowledge in agriculture and architecture have given me the tools to understand the
\nparticularities of goats and how their environment may affect them. The research studies
\non goat behaviour and welfare analyzed in this thesis, encompass a range of aspects from
\nunderstanding social needs, and evaluating adaptable behaviour, to assessing the performance
\ncharacteristics of materials and housing components. The emerging designs for the Dairy Goat
\nResearch Facility embody an integration of goat behaviour research, farm culture and
\nindustrialization, and sustainability.

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.
