Abstract
<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Numerous image processing techniques have been developed for the identification of various types of skin lesions. In real-world scenarios, the specific lesion type is often unknown in advance, leading to a multi-class prediction challenge. The available evidence underscores the importance of employing a comprehensive array of diverse features and subsequently identifying the most important ones as a crucial step in visual diagnostics. For this purpose, we addressed both binary and five-class classification tasks using a small dataset, with skin lesions prevalent in Lithuania. The model was trained using a rich set of 662 features, encompassing both conventional image features and graph-based ones, which were obtained from the superpixel graph generated using Delaunay triangulation. We explored the influence of feature importance determined by SHAP values, resulting in a weighted F1-score of 92.48% for the two-class classification and 71.21% for the five-class prediction. </abstract>

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
