Abstract
We study new hierarchical indexing approach to process XPath queries. Here, a hierarchical index consists of index entries that are pairs of queries and their (full/partial) answers (called extents). With such an index, XPath queries can be processed to extract the results if they match the queries maintained in those index entries. Existing XML path indexing approaches support either child-axis (/) only, or additional descendant-or-self-axis (//) but only in the query root. Different from them, we propose a novel indexing approach to process a large fragment of XPath queries, which may use /, //, and wildcards ( <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">*</sub> ). The key issues are how to reduce the number of index entries and how to maintain non-overlapping extents among index entries. We show how to compress such index and how to evaluate XPath queries on it. Experiments show the efficiency of our approaches.

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
