Abstract
Mixture models are widely used in unsupervised machine learning applications where annotating a large amount of data is not feasible. They have succeeded in various real-world problems, including medical applications, human activity recognition, and anomaly detection. This paper proposes a fully Bayesian analysis of the multivariate McDonald's Beta mixture model (McDBMM) using Gibbs sampling method and Metropolis-Hastings to estimate parameters. In addition, we integrated a feature selection technique which simultaneously determines the most relevant features for our mixture model. This allows for the simultaneous selection of the most relevant features, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the unsupervised learning process. Our approach is evaluated on challenging applications, including lung cancer image analysis and human activity recognition. Experimental results indicate that our proposed method is an effective solution compared to the Gaussian mixture model (GMM).

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
