Abstract
We present an adjoint-based technique for estimating second-order sensitivities of a generic wideband objective function using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Our proposed algorithm estimates both the first- and the second-order sensitivities of the objective function with respect to all considered parameters using at most n+1 extra simulations, where n is the number of parameters. If sensitivity analysis is performed using conventional finite-difference approximations, O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) simulations would be required. Our approach is illustrated through an example where a 12-by-12 Hessian matrix of the return loss is computed over a wideband of frequencies. Good match is achieved between our numerically-produced adjoint results and exact analytical results.

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
