Abstract
We present BALDUR, a novel Bayesian algorithm designed to deal with multi-modal datasets and small sample sizes in high-dimensional settings while providing explainable solutions. To do so, the proposed model combines within a common latent space the different data views to extract the relevant information to solve the classification task and prune out the irrelevant/redundant features/data views. Furthermore, to provide generalizable solutions in small sample size scenarios, BALDUR efficiently integrates dual kernels over the views with a small sample-to-feature ratio. Finally, its linear nature ensures the explainability of the model outcomes, allowing its use for biomarker identification. This model was tested over two different neurodegeneration datasets, outperforming the state-of-the-art models and detecting features aligned with markers already described in the scientific literature.

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
