APMP Key comparison report of reference air kerma rate for HDR <sup>192</sup> Ir brachytherapy sources (BIPM KCDB: APMP.RI(I)-K8)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Main text The APMP/TCRI Dosimetry Working Group performed the APMP.RI(I)-K8 key comparison of the reference air kerma rate for high-dose-rate (HDR) 192 Ir brachytherapy sources between 2016 and 2018. Eight laboratories, including seven national metrology institutes (NMIs), took part in the comparison. Two commercial well-type chambers were used as transfer instruments and circulated among the participants. The results showed that the maximum difference between the participants and the BIPM, evaluated using the comparison data of the linking laboratories NMIJ and NRC, was less than 4%. The degrees of equivalence for the participants were calculated, so that results for the six non-linking laboratories may be included in the Key Comparison Database (KCDB). To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report . Note that this text is that which appears in Appendix B of the BIPM key comparison database https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/ . The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCRI, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
