Abstract
World Polio Day 2023, on Oct 24, offered the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and other supporters of the cause an opportunity to reinvigorate their global call to “Make Polio History”. Since GPEI's launch in 1988, when poliomyelitis (polio) paralysed over 350 000 children every year, remarkable progress has been made in the fight against the disease: wild poliovirus cases have decreased by more than 99% and wild poliovirus types 2 and 3 have been declared eradicated. However, GPEI's original aim to end polio by the year 2000 was not met, and almost a quarter of a century on, this aim still appears elusive with two substantial challenges needing to be addressed.

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
