Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Move pruning is a low-overhead technique for reducing the size of a depth first search tree. The existing algorithm for automatically discovering move pruning information is restricted to games where all moves can be applied to every state. This paper demonstrates an algorithm which handles a general class of single player games. It gives experimental results for our technique, demonstrating both the applicability to a range of games, and the reduction in search tree size. We also provide some conditions under which move pruning is safe, and when it may interfere with other search reduction techniques.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
