Abstract
Machine learning applications are intensively utilized in various science fields, and increasingly the biomedical and healthcare sector. Applying predictive modeling to biomedical data introduces privacy and security concerns requiring additional protection to prevent accidental disclosure or leakage of sensitive patient information. Significant advancements in secure computing methods have emerged in recent years, however, many of which require substantial computational and/or communication overheads, which might hinder their adoption in biomedical applications. In this work, we propose SecureLR, a novel framework allowing researchers to leverage both the computational and storage capacity of Public Cloud Servers to conduct learning and predictions on biomedical data without compromising data security or efficiency. Our model builds upon homomorphic encryption methodologies with hardware-based security reinforcement through Software Guard Extensions (SGX), and our implementation demonstrates a practical hybrid cryptographic solution to address important concerns in conducting machine learning with public clouds.

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
