Abstract
This study concerns a generic model-free stochastic optimization problem requiring the minimization of a risk function defined on a given bounded domain in a Euclidean space. Smoothness assumptions regarding the risk function are hypothesized, and members of the underlying space of probabilities are presumed subject to a large deviation principle; however, the risk function may well be nonconvex and multimodal. A general approach to finding the risk minimizer on the basis of decision/observation pairs is proposed. It consists of repeatedly observing pairs over a collection of design points. Principles are derived for choosing the number of these design points on the basis of an observation budget, and for allocating the observations between these points in both prescheduled and adaptive settings. On the basis of these principles, large-deviation type bounds of the minimizer in terms of sample size are established.

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
