Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Antarctica is a continent dedicated to peace and science since the signature of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959. However, an elaborated environmental protection for the continent only dates from the Protocol on Environmental Protection, an annex which was signed in 1991. This Protocol includes 6 Annexes regulating the Environmental Impact Assessments and permits, the waste handling, the area and species protection, etc. During Annual meetings, the environmental questions are discussed between Parties, Observers and Experts, on the basis of the best possible scientific evidences. The scientists’ role is important, and there are organisations (e.g. SCAR) and initiatives (e.g. Antarctic Environments Portal, https://environments.aq/) that aims to strengthen the link between scientists and policy- makers. A better communication of policy priorities would help scientists to better contribute with policy-relevant data, and to participate to the environmental protection.

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.
