Abstract
Heritage interpretation plays a key role in understanding, imagining, and appreciating tangible cultural heritage, including historic sites. Interpretation becomes critical for visitors to historic sites that are partially or fully buried or in ruins, which is most often the case for archaeological sites. However, it remains a challenge for developers of AR systems and content to navigate the plethora of technologies and requirements in this evolving area. In response, we present the design of Arbela Layers Uncovered (ALU), a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) system for the ancient site of Arbela, Iraq. The site consists of an accumulation of buried layers left by successive civilizations inhabiting the area. In addition to describing the objectives of ALU, we discuss the development of a proof-of-concept and the design decisions involved. ALU features media for guiding visitors and interpreting and presenting the complex and multifaceted history of the site.

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
