Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

At concerts and presentations, the sound system must be carefully calibrated to ensure the entire audience can hear the presenters clearly. For both indoor and outdoor venues, this is done by positioning speakers throughout the audience to reinforce the sound produced on stage. This technique introduces an added complexity, whereby the electrical signal to the speakers in the crowd travels much faster than the sound wave coming from the stage. The Adaptive Delay System (ADS) for Sound Reinforcement is a new method for synchronizing the sound throughout the audience. Unlike existing methods, it does not require complex calculations when initially configuring the sound system. Furthermore, it is also capable of accounting for time-variant conditions such as wind, which are neglected in the current methods of speaker synchronization. Maximum length sequences, a special type of pseudo-random noise, are injected into a speaker for several seconds. A specially placed microphone picks up this sound which is then cross correlated with the original noise to determine the propagation delay. As this sound is barely audible it can be used during a concert to adaptively correct for changing conditions.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
