Abstract
This article compares the ability of nine unmixing models, including radiative transfer (RT) models as well as a new nonlinear unmixing approach called neighbor-band ratio unmixing (NBRU), to obtain mineralogical information from hyperspectral data. Their performance in estimating mineral abundances of 94 crafted mineral mixtures was first assessed. NBRU led to the best results among non-RT models with mean and median errors of 9.8% and 7.4%, respectively. Hapke's and Shkuratov's RT models obtained 6.5% and 5.6%, and 6.7% and 4.7%, respectively. In a second experiment, the mapping ability of six non-RT models and their robustness when facing endmember variability were evaluated. The assessment was performed on an AVIRIS hyperspectral image of the widely studied Cuprite area, NV, USA. Comparisons with validation maps showed that NBRU retrieved the best spatial distributions for seven of the nine minerals mapped.

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
