Tsotsos University of Toronto Richard Wallace Vision Applications Inc. i Summary Active vision systems have mechanisms that can actively control camera parameters such as position, orientation, focus, zoom, aperture and vergence (in a two camera system) in response to the requirements of the task and external stimuli. They may also have features such as spatially variant (foveal) sensors. More broadly, active vision encompasses attention, selective sensing in space, resolution and time, whether it is achieved by modifying physical camera parameters or the way data is processed after leaving the camera. In the active vision paradigm, the basic components of the visual system are visual behaviors tightly integrated with the actions they support; these behaviors may not require elaborate categorical repres

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.
