Abstract
Abstract We consider the stochastic fixed‐charge capacitated multicommodity network design (S‐CMND) problem with uncertain demand. We propose a two‐stage stochastic programming formulation, where design decisions make up the first stage, while recourse decisions are made in the second stage to distribute the commodities according to observed demands. The overall objective is to optimize the cost of the first‐stage design decisions plus the total expected distribution cost incurred in the second stage. To solve this formulation, we propose a metaheuristic framework inspired by the progressive hedging algorithm of Rockafellar and Wets. Following this strategy, scenario decomposition is used to separate the stochastic problem following the possible outcomes, scenarios, of the random event. Each scenario subproblem then becomes a deterministic CMND problem to be solved, which may be addressed by efficient specialized methods. We also propose and compare different strategies to gradually guide scenario subproblems to agree on the status of design arcs and aim for a good global design. These strategies are embedded into a parallel solution method, which is numerically shown to be computationally efficient and to yield high‐quality solutions under various problem characteristics and demand correlations. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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
