Abstract
The milk quality is determined by its visual appearance, absence of adulterating substances and ability to meet specific quality standards for somatic cell count (SCC), and bacteria count. There exist several diagnostic tests of milk quality. Some of them are applicable on dairy farms, like, for example, the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and the Milk Conductivity Test (MCT). Other tests, such as the bulk milk bacterial count, the bulk tank somatic cell count and tests for adulterants like water, sediments or antibiotics, are used in laboratories. The knowledge required to successfully apply the existing milk quality tests can be rather extensive and pertains both to the methodology and the diagnostic capabilities of a given test. Therefore, there is a need for new simple and low-cost methods of milk quality testing. This paper presents a new method of milk quality classification using low-cost optical capillaries. In this method, milk quality is determined by observation of milk behaviour under specific heating conditions using a simple low-cost photonic system with optical capillaries. We show that the optical capillary is a suitable tool for analysing liquids showing high scattering of light, such as milk.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
