Abstract
Acute onset of focal weakness or paralysis characterized as flaccid (reduced tone) without other obvious causes (e.g., trauma) in children less than 15 years old, including Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS). Transient weakness (e.g., postictal weakness) should not be reported. NOTE: The elimination of indigenous wild poliovirus transmission in Canada, and the rest of the American region, was certified in September 1994. However, until global polio eradication is attained, there remains an ongoing risk of wild poliovirus importation from polio-endemic regions to Canada. Consequently, active surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in children less than 15 years is used to monitor potential cases of paralytic poliomyelitis. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for AFP, the estimated minimum number of cases expected to be identified in Alberta is 6 per year. NOTE: Other conditions present symptoms similar to paralytic poliomyelitis. A record is kept of all definitive diagnoses for all reported cases of AFP meeting the clinical case definition. GBS is the most common cause of AFP in childhood but other differential diagnoses include, but are not limited to, transverse myelitis, peripheral neuropathy, enteroviruses, acute non-bacterial meningitis, brain abscess, China Syndrome and post-polio sequelae. Poliomyelitis must be distinguished from other paralytic conditions by isolation of polio virus from stool.

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.
