Abstract
The automated processing of data from high-throughput and real-time collection procedures is becoming a pressing problem. Currently the focus is shifting to automated smoothing techniques where, unlike background subtraction techniques, very few methods exist. We have developed a filter based on the widely used and conceptually simple moving average method or zero-order Savitzky-Golay filter and its iterative relative, the Kolmogorov-Zurbenko filter. A crucial difference, however, between these filters and our implementation is that our fully automated smoothing filter requires no parameter specification or parameter optimization. Results are comparable to, or better than, Savitzky-Golay filters with optimized parameters and superior to the automated iterative median filter. Our approach, because it is based on the highly familiar moving average concept, is intuitive, fast, and straightforward to implement and should therefore be of immediate and considerable practical use in a wide variety of spectroscopy applications.

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
