Abstract
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, an unprecedented situation has developed with masks and respirators protecting respiratory organs. The purpose of the mask (respirator) is to protect the person from drops of liquid that the COVID-19 carrier spreads around themselves when coughing/sneezing. Unfortunately, low-cost, non-professional and home-made masks and respirators let in a significant amount of droplets. An ideal solution would be to treat a cheap or even a makeshift mask or respirator to make it water-repellent (like a rubber respirator), but to still allow the wearer of the mask the ability to breathe and talk freely. Fortunately, this dilemma was long and successfully solved by manufacturers of products to protect clothes and furniture from spills and liquids.

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
