Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We generalize the classical algorithms of Valiant and Haussler for learning conjunctions and disjunctions of Boolean attributes to the problem of learning these functions over arbitrary sets of features. The result is a general-purposed learning machine, suitable for practical learning tasks, that we call the Set Covering Machine. We present a version of the Set Covering Machine that uses generalized balls for its set of features and compare its performance to the famous Support Vector Machine. 1 Motivation We may attribute the eectiveness of Support Vector Machines [6] to the fact that they combine two very good ideas. First, they map the space of input vectors onto a very high-dimensional feature space in such a way that nonlinear decision functions on the input space can be constructed by using only hyperplanes on the feature space. Second, they construct the separating hyperplane on the feature space which has the largest possible margin. Vapnik has shown [6] that good ge...

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
