Kuku Possum candidate lexical retriever v0.1.0
This is a small CPU model for closed-set candidate lexical retrieval, not a free-form translator. It ranks source-backed candidate forms from the current Kuku Possum multi-variety evidence edition and abstains when no score clears the frozen threshold.
Scope
- Alungul Y199: 5 unreviewed candidate senses.
- Olgol Y73: 1,888 unreviewed candidate senses.
- Gugu Yawa Y74: 0 lexical rows; the model explicitly abstains.
- Sentence translation, ASR and TTS: unsupported.
Every result retains variety, orthography, source IDs, source anchors, review status and rights metadata. The model never merges the three varieties.
Evaluation
The published evaluation is deliberately described as a training-overlapping
closed census. It contains 1,230 unique (variety, English candidate gloss) query clusters and 1,881 candidate sense records. Top-1 retrieval
was 1230/1230 and top-8 was 1230/1230. This
measures reconstruction of the indexed candidate evidence, not unseen-word
generalisation, sentence competence, fluency or community acceptance.
Use
from inference import load_model, lookup
model = load_model("model.json.gz")
print(lookup(model, "person", variety="olgol-y73"))
Governance and limitations
Publication relies on the recorded operator authorization
kuku-possum-operator-publication-authorization-v1. The operator represented that the required permissions
were held and directed publication; no external permission document was supplied
or independently verified. Source documents themselves are not included.
All linguistic rows remain candidates. Outputs must be labelled experimental and checked by an appropriate qualified speaker or language reviewer before use. The model is not authoritative and must not be represented as faithful sentence translation.
