Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

on the test set. In terms of scoliosis severity classification, it achieved high precision (84.62%) and specificity (95.65% for mild cases and 82.98% for severe cases), highlighting its clinical applicability in AIS management. The regression-based approach using the EfficientNetB0 as a feature extractor presents a significant advancement for accurately determining CA from ST scans, offering a promising tool for improving scoliosis severity categorization and management in adolescents.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
