Abstract
In this article, a novel hierarchical deep neural network (DNN) is introduced that augments an input DNN to significantly enhance its image classification accuracy while reducing the inference time and the hardware overhead. The architecture comprises a hybrid framework that combines binary classifiers based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with refined classifiers employing Vision Transformers (ViTs). A distinctive training approach is employed, where embedded models are designed and trained based on image distributions processed by binary classifiers, enhancing the system’s precision and efficiency. An algorithm determines the optimal inclusion of components within a cascading structure, enabling the construction, training, and deployment of specialized deep-learning networks. Additionally, two algorithms are introduced to optimize the architecture for multi-GPU systems. Extensive experimentation across multiple baseline DNNs, including both CNNs and ViTs, and diverse datasets demonstrates the versatility and superiority of our proposed structure over traditional methods, with particularly strong improvements observed on larger and more complex datasets such as ImageNet.

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
