Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Influenza is a serious public health concern and vaccination is the first line of defense. In a pandemic, individuals are prioritized based on their risk profiles and transmission rates to ensure effective use of the available vaccine. We use an agent-based stochastic simulation model, and optimize the age-specific vaccine distribution strategy. We use black-box optimization techniques to minimize the overall cost of the outbreak. Our numerical experiments show that the best policy returned by our approach outperforms alternative policies recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
