Abstract
This study presents a novel Semantic-Attention Enhanced Dynamic Swin Convolutional Block Attention Module(CBAM) Transformer (DSC-Transformer) for lymph node ultrasound image classification. The model integrates semantic feature extraction and multi-scale attention mechanisms with the Swin Transformer architecture, enabling efficient processing of diagnostically significant regions while suppressing noise. Key innovations include semantic-driven preprocessing for localized diagnostic focus, adaptive compression for bandwidth-limited scenarios, and multi-scale attention modules for capturing both global anatomical context and local texture details. The model's effectiveness is validated through comprehensive experiments on diverse datasets and Grad-Channel Attention Module (CAM) visualizations, demonstrating superior classification performance while maintaining high efficiency in remote diagnostic settings. This semantic-attention enhancement makes the DSC-Transformer particularly effective for telemedicine applications, representing a significant advancement in AI-driven medical image analysis with broad implications for telehealth deployment.

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
