Abstract
Nonlinearities in audio systems are caused by different nonlinear components like amplifiers and speakers. The nature of these impairments makes acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) harder to achieve, requiring the use of advanced and complex algorithms to offer satisfying performance. Adaptive filters in combination with nonlinear mapping schemes like Volterra and Hammerstein are widely used for this purpose. In this work, we address the AEC problem in the presence of severe nonlinear distortion. The proposed method based on metaheuristic optimization uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to estimate the nonlinear function parameters and the room impulse response. The method is compared to a reference technique that uses a sigmoid transform approach in conjunction with the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm. Simulation results show high robustness of the proposed approach to strong nonlinearities and saturation effects compared to the reference method.

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
