Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of splitting trajectories optimally for the purpose of efficiently supporting spatio-temporal range queries using index structures (e.g., R-trees) that use minimum bounding hyper-rectangles as trajectory approximations. We derive a formal cost model for estimating the number of I/Os required to evaluate a spatio-temporal range query with respect to a given query size and an arbitrary split of a trajectory. Based on the proposed model, we introduce a dynamic programming algorithm for splitting a set of trajectories that minimizes the number of expected disk I/Os with respect to an average query size. In addition, we develop a linear time, near optimal solution for this problem to be used in a dynamic case where trajectory points are continuously updated. Our experimental evaluation confirms the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed splitting policies when embedded into an R-tree structure. 1.

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
