Bibliographic record
Abstract
When French Canadian Singer Céline Dion went on her Taking Chances World Tour (2008-9), which included nine shows across five cities in South Africa, as well as performances in Dubai, Tokyo, Osaka, Macau, Seoul, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur (Malasia) and 4 performances in Latin America ˗ she was taking way more “chances” in contracting serious infectious disease then she or her handlers might have realized. Read more about this possibility here: https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/_b_Is_stiff-person_syndrome_really_autoimmune_b_/25272448, in a recent peer-reviewed article published in Academia Journal of Scientific Research which argues against classifying Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) as an autoimmune disease given past evidence of faulty categorization of infectious bacterial diseases as autoimmune, for example Whipple’s Disease. The article stresses on the need for more thorough and reliable testing of the etiology of SPS to rule out infectious causes and ensure correct diagnosis and improve treatment efficacy. This is its accompanying video. https://vimeo.com/919328363?share=copy

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
