Abstract
Automated iris segmentation is an important component of biometric identification. The role of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning and deep learning, has been considerable in such automated delineation strategies. Although the use of deep learning is a promising approach in recent times, some of its challenges include its high computational requirement as well as availability of large annotated training data. In this scenario, interactive learning offers a cost-effective yet efficient alternative. We introduce an interactive variant of UNet for iris segmentation, including Squeeze Expand modules, to lower training time while improving storage efficiency through a reduction in the number of parameters involved. The interactive component helps in generating the ground truth for datasets having insufficient annotated samples. The effectiveness of the model ISqEUNet is illustrated through the use of three publicly available iris databases, along with comparisons involving existing state-of-the-art methodologies.

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
