Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a degenerative disease of the central retina associated with aging, is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly of North America.1 The majority of patients have the “dry ” form of AMD, presenting with varying degrees of central vision loss, and can progress to the “wet ” form where neovasculatures generate in the retina.2 These fragile vessels leak blood and fluid, displacing the macula from its natural position, causing damage, rapid vision loss, and perceived image distortions.2 We spoke with two experts in the field of AMD—Dr. David Maberley, a Vancouver ophthalmologist sub-specializing in the retina and vitreous humour, and Dr. Joanne Matsubara, a researcher at the UBC Eye Care Centre investigating connections between amyloid-β, a pro-inflammatory peptide, and AMD pathogenesis. Dr. Maberley is the founder and director for the Canadian Retinal Trials Group, a national clinical trials group conducting

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.
