An Upward OVS Trajectory Promise and a New Academy President Usher in 2007
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This year your Editor and the Optometry and Vision Science (OVS) Board of Topical Editors look forward to a great year for our readers and those reporting their discoveries. We will bring you three Feature Issues, each dedicated to a clinically important advance in eye and vision care and lead by international expert Guest Editors. The first arrives next month (February) and addresses the critical discoveries and approaches that directly impact on the management of infant and childhood hyperopia (Infant and Child Hyperopia). The second and third will come to you in late Spring and early summer with a focus on contact lens challenges in sub-optimal environments (Contact Lenses in Suboptimal Environments) and the issues surrounding vision-related quality of life (Vision-Related Quality of Life), respectively. You are in for a treat! This year you can also expect to be reading the first of our new series dedicated to profiling those individuals who have made major change to eye and vision care over the past century; we lead with a profile on Professor Irving Borish. Academy 2006 in Denver was another huge success with exciting courses, including one sponsored by this Journal as OVS Presents, a well-attended Plenary session, a stimulating Hirsch Symposium on AMD, numerous section sponsored symposia, a well-attended exhibit, and more than 4000 attendees (mostly optometrists). Optometry students were again in attendance in impressive numbers and showed us quite clearly that optometry has a bright future. This same meeting welcomed close to 160 new Fellows and many new and renewing Diplomates from our sections. Colleagues from close to 40 countries attended and the Awards ceremony was highlighted by two superb lectures from the Glenn A. Fry Awardee and the Charles Prentice Medalist. Both of their papers will be published in OVS this year. We also welcomed in a new President, Richard E. Weisbarth. Rick's remarks, in his banquet acceptance speech, form the basis of our Guest Editorial this month. He has ambitious plans for the Academy! The Academy also elected two new Board members and a slate of officers. The newly elected Board members are Dr. Barbara Caffery, Toronto, ON, Canada and Dr. Joseph P. Shovlin, Scranton, PA. Dr. Mark Eger, a Fellow of the Academy since 1971, was elected to President-Elect. He is currently a private practitioner in Coraopolis, PA. Dr. Karla Zadnik, a Fellow of the Academy since 1984, was elected Secretary-Treasurer. She is the Glenn A. Fry Professor in Optometry and Physiological Optics and the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. The Academy also re-elected Board members Dr. Brett G. Bence of Seattle, WA and Dr. Bernard J. Dolan of San Francisco, CA. Anthony J. Adams Berkeley, California

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
