Abstract
The goal of any research is to provide a lasting, retrievable record of the work in the form of a published article (1). Research is often first presented to a peer group in abstract form at an annual meeting; this semiformal informationsharing venue is a critical medium for the communication of new concepts, and enables the presentation of novel or confirmatory information to glean peer feedback. However, many of these presentations are based on partial results, which are modified after final data analysis or during the more rigorous peer-review process required for successful publication. Moreover, these ideas are not effectively disseminated because most surgeon members attend annual general meetings sporadically, if at all (2-4).

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
