Abstract
Explored is the utility of modelling brain magnetic resonance images as a fractal object for the classification of healthy brain images against those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). More precisely, fractal multi-scale analysis is used to build feature vectors from the derived Hurst's exponents. These are then classified by support vector machines (SVMs). Three experiments were conducted: in the first the SVM was trained to classify AD against healthy images. In the second experiment, the SVM was trained to classify AD against MCI and, in the third experiment, a multiclass SVM was trained to classify all three types of images. The experimental results, using the 10-fold cross-validation technique, indicate that the SVM achieved 97.08% ± 0.05 correct classification rate, 98.09% ± 0.04 sensitivity and 96.07% ± 0.07 specificity for the classification of healthy against MCI images, thus outperforming recent works found in the literature. For the classification of MCI against AD, the SVM achieved 97.5% ± 0.04 correct classification rate, 100% sensitivity and 94.93% ± 0.08 specificity. The third experiment also showed that the multiclass SVM provided highly accurate classification results. The processing time for a given image was 25 s. These findings suggest that this approach is efficient and may be promising for clinical applications.

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
