Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present new algebraic approaches for two well-known combinatorial problems: nonbipartite matching and matroid intersection. Our work yields new randomized algorithms that exceed or match the efficiency of existing algorithms. For nonbipartite matching, we obtain a simple, purely algebraic algorithm with running time $O(n^\omega)$ where n is the number of vertices and $\omega$ is the matrix multiplication exponent. This resolves the central open problem of Mucha and Sankowski (2004). For matroid intersection, our algorithm has running time $O(nr^{\omega-1})$ for matroids with n elements and rank r that satisfy some natural conditions.

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.
