Abstract
Brain tumor classification is a critical task in medical imaging that directly impacts the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning. However, the complexity and variability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images pose significant challenges, often resulting in reduced model reliability and generalization. This study addresses these limitations by proposing a novel ResNet+Bagging model, leveraging the strengths of residual networks and ensemble learning to enhance classification performance. Using publicly available brain tumor MRI datasets, including images labeled as benign, malignant, and normal, the study employs advanced preprocessing techniques such as normalization, data augmentation, and noise reduction to ensure high-quality inputs. The proposed model demonstrated significant improvements, achieving the highest testing accuracy of 72%, outperforming other tested models such as LeNet, standard ResNet, GoogleNet, and VGGNet. Precision (0.6010), recall (0.6000), and F1-score (0.5990) metrics further highlight its superior balance in detecting positive and negative classes. The novelty of this research lies in the application of Bagging to ResNet, which effectively mitigates overfitting and enhances predictive stability in complex medical datasets. These findings underscore the proposed model's potential as a robust solution for brain tumor classification, contributing to more accurate and reliable diagnostics.

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
