Abstract
Defect detection methods have greatly assisted human operators in various fields, from textiles to surfaces and mechanical components, by facilitating decision-making processes and reducing visual fatigue. This area of research is widely recognized as a cross-industry concern, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Nevertheless, each specific application brings unique challenges that require tailored solutions. This paper presents a novel framework for leveraging latent space representations in defect detection tasks, focusing on improving explainability while maintaining accuracy. This work delves into how latent spaces can be utilized by integrating unsupervised and supervised analyses. We propose a hybrid methodology that not only identifies known defects but also provides a mechanism for detecting anomalies and dynamically adapting to new defect types. This dual approach supports human operators, reducing manual workload and enhancing interpretability.

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
