Abstract
The support vector machine (SVM) is a popularly used classifier in applications such as pattern recognition, texture mining and image retrieval owing to its flexibility and interpretability. However, its performance deteriorates when the response classes are imbalanced. To enhance the performance of the support vector machine classifier in the imbalanced cases we investigate a new two stage method by adaptively scaling the kernel function. Based on the information obtained from the standard SVM in the first stage, we conformally rescale the kernel function in a data adaptive fashion in the second stage so that the separation between two classes can be effectively enlarged with incorporation of observation imbalance. The proposed method takes into account the location of the support vectors in the feature space, therefore is especially appealing when the response classes are imbalanced. The resulting algorithm can efficiently improve the classification accuracy, which is confirmed by intensive numerical studies as well as a real prostate cancer imaging data application.

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
