It is 2026. How are we still publishing articles on medical diagnostics data science and using area under the ROC curve as the primary metric of success. ROC-AUC of 0.9 under severe class imbalance (almost always the case in diagnostics) could still mean something like 4/5 predicted diagnoses are wrong (false positives). Precision-Recall curve + mAP or GTFO.
Also, the most interesting result here is that the CNN-based feature encoder significantly outperformed a vision transformer encoder backbone…

Teaching students how to interpret evidence must be way undervalued still. I went to one of the top CS schools 20 years ago and you could get a degree without even taking a single probability or stats class of any kind.

Waste avoidance.
Bullsh*t is more than sufficient to convince an AI-gulled target audience.

I don't agree with the flak Chinese labs get. If it's really that easy to distill and compete with frontier models, why aren't other countries anywhere near this AI race?

Because distillation is a friendly term for industrial espionage, and most other countries are not willing to become international pariahs in the eyes of the west.
In communism, man exploits man. In capitalism, it's the other way around.

Fortunately, we now have AI to come along and launder the responsibility for exploitation through.

Now we have AI exploiting us. Look at us race to digitize everything and feed it into ever rising oceans of context, to build infrastructure for its rapid expansion, confident that we can’t stop because we can’t all stop; we’re just humans. All we have to do is stop. And we can’t. That will end up not in our extinction, but in our ever increasing subjugation, both of freedoms and spirit.

The attempt is already there: "predicting the future" is called "intelligence".

102M - modified BERT-base-Chinese text encoder
26M - 3D U-Net-style vision/anatomy encoder
2.8M - projection layers, anatomy-specific projections, query tokens and attention layer
Written to run on something like an H100 though- as the CT Scan data is quite large.
