Abstract
A consensus tree is a phylogenetic tree that synthesizes a given collection of phylogenetic trees, all of which share the same leaf labels but may have different topologies, typically obtained through bootstrapping. Our research focuses on creating a consensus tree from a collection of phylogenetic trees, each detailed with branch-length data. We integrate branch lengths into the consensus to encapsulate the progression rate of genetic mutations. However, traditional consensus trees, such as the strict consensus tree, primarily focus on the topological structure of these trees, often neglecting the informative value of branch lengths. This oversight disregards a crucial aspect of evolutionary study and highlights a notable gap in traditional phylogenetic approaches. In this paper, we extend PrimConsTree , an graph-based method for constructing consensus trees. This algorithm incorporates topological information, edge frequency, clade frequency, and branch length to construct a more robust and comprehensive consensus tree. Our adaptation of the well-known Prim algorithm efficiently identifies the maximum frequency branch and maximum frequency nodes to build the optimal consensus tree. This strategy was pre-processed with clustering steps to calibrate the robustness and accuracy of the consensus tree.

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
