Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the potential of the support vector machine (SVM) in long-term prediction of lake water levels. Lake Erie mean monthly water levels from 1918 to 2001 are used to predict future water levels up to 12months ahead. The results are compared with a widely used neural network model called a multilayer perceptron (MLP) and with a conventional multiplicative seasonal autoregressive model (SAR). Overall, the SVM showed good performance and is proved to be competitive with the MLP and SAR models. For a 3- to 12-month-ahead prediction, the SVM model outperforms the two other models based on root-mean square error and correlation coefficient performance criteria. Furthermore, the SVM exhibits inherent advantages due to its use of the structural risk minimization principle in formulating cost functions and of quadratic programming during model optimization. These advantages lead to a unique optimal and global solution compared to conventional neural network models.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
