Abstract
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as colorectal cancer (CRC), pose a substantial health burden worldwide, showing increased incidence rates across different age groups. Detecting and removing polyps promptly, recognized as CRC precursors, are crucial for prevention. While traditional colonoscopy works well, it is vulnerable to specialist errors. This study suggests an AI-based diminutive sessile polyp localization assistant utilizing the YOLO-V8 family. Comprehensive evaluations were conducted using a diverse dataset that was assembled from various available datasets to support our investigation. The final dataset contains images obtained using two imaging methods: white light endoscopy (WLE) and narrow-band imaging (NBI). The research demonstrated remarkable results, boasting a precision of 96.4%, recall of 93.89%, and F1-score of 94.46%. This success can be credited to a meticulously balanced combination of hyperparameters and the specific attributes of the comprehensive dataset designed for the colorectal polyp localization in colonoscopy images. Also, it was proved that the dataset selection was acceptable by analyzing the polyp sizes and their coordinates using a special matrix. This study brings forth significant insights for augmenting the detection of diminutive sessile colorectal polyps, thereby advancing technology-driven colorectal cancer diagnosis in offline scenarios. This is particularly beneficial for gastroenterologists analyzing endoscopy capsule images to detect gastrointestinal polyps.

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
