Abstract
Background: Advances in medical image classification have recently benefited from general augmentation techniques. However, these methods often fall short in performance and interpretability. Objective: This paper applies the Unified Model Agnostic Computation (UMAC) framework specifically to the medical domain to demonstrate its utility in this critical area. Methods: UMAC is a model-agnostic methodology designed to develop machine learning approaches that integrate seamlessly with various paradigms, including self-supervised, semi-supervised, and supervised learning. By unifying and standardizing computational models and algorithms, UMAC ensures adaptability across different data types and computational environments while incorporating state-of-the-art methodologies. In this study, we integrate UMAC as a plug-and-play module within convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer architectures, enabling the generation of high-quality representations even with minimal data. Results: Our experiments across nine diverse 2D medical image datasets show that UMAC consistently outperforms traditional data augmentation methods, achieving a 1.89% improvement in classification accuracy. Conclusions: Additionally, by incorporating explainable AI (XAI) techniques, we enhance model transparency and reliability in decision-making. This study highlights UMAC’s potential as a powerful tool for improving both the performance and interpretability of medical image classification models.

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
