Abstract
The 59th Annual American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP)Convention and Trade Show was held in Nashville, Tennessee from 7 to 11 December 2013.The 5-day convention attracted over 6600 veterinarians, students, technicians, guests and exhibitors.The programme presented a blend of learning opportunities ranging from large didactic lectures to small group discussions.Renowned orthopaedic specialist Dr Sue Dyson delivered the Frank J. Milne State of the Art presentation.Her 3 h presentation included a wide range of videos and still images as well as succinct summaries of her clinical work and research that focused on the art and science of lameness evaluation.Didactic lectures were grouped into morning or afternoon sections including 4 sessions devoted to business and practice management, a session on ethics in equine practice and a novel session delivered by several AAEP past presidents titled 'Lessons Learned'.The programme chair, Dr Jeff Blea, invited noted clinicians to assemble for indepth review sessions on the topics of sport horse lameness, racing-related lameness, reproductive endocrinology and geriatric medicine.He also organised 3 'How To' sessions that presented tips and clinical pearls on ophthalmology, radiology of performance horses and field anaesthesia.Seven other sessions of the convention were devoted to new information, showcasing over 70 papers that the AAEP Educational Programmes Committee had selected for the programme out of several hundred submissions.For the third year, EVJ has published an online supplement to the AAEP proceedings, composed of several full-length peer-reviewed articles reflecting original papers submitted to be considered for presentation at the convention.Highlighted here are 6 articles from the supplement that were on the AAEP programme as well as selected other information from the convention of particular clinical relevance.The complete special EVJ supplement is available free online at http://onlinelibrary.

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.
