Brain MRI classification using an ensemble system and LH and HL wavelet sub-bands features
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new classification system for brain images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. A three-stage approach is used for its design. It consists of second-level discrete wavelet transform decomposition of the image under study, feature extraction from the LH and HL sub-bands using first order statistics, and subsequent classification with the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), learning vector quantization (LVQ), and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) algorithms. Then, an ensemble classifier system is developed where the previous machines form the base classifiers and support vector machines (SVM) are employed to aggregate decisions. The proposed approach was tested on a bank of normal and pathological MRIs and the obtained results show a higher performance overall than when using features extracted from the LL sub-band, as usually done, leading to the conclusion that the horizontal and vertical sub-bands of the wavelet transform can effectively and efficiently encode the discriminating features of normal and pathological images. The experimental results also show that using an ensemble classifier improves the correct classification rates.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
