Abstract
Mining functional dependencies (FDs) from databases has been identified as an important database analysis technique. It has received considerable research interest in recent years. However, most current data mining techniques for determining functional dependencies deal only with crisp databases. Although various forms of fuzzy functional dependencies (FFDs) have been proposed for fuzzy databases, they emphasized conceptual viewpoints and only a few mining algorithms are given. In this research, we propose methods to validate and incrementally search for FFDs from similarity-based fuzzy relational databases. For a given pair of attributes, the validation of FFDs is based on fuzzy projection and fuzzy selection operations. In addition, the property that FFDs are monotonic in the sense that r1 ? r2 implies FDa(r1) ? FDa(r2) is shown. An incremental search algorithm for FFDs based on this property is then presented. Experimental results showing the behavior of the search algorithm are discussed.

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
