Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present an unsupervised system which takes digital photographs as input, and generates simplified, stylized vector data as output. The three component parts of our system are image-space stylization, edge tracing, and edge-based image reconstruction. The design of each of these components is specialized, relative to their state of the art equivalents, in order to improve their effectiveness when used in such a combined stylization/vectorization pipeline. We demonstrate that the vector data generated by our system is often both an effective visual simplification of the input photographs, and an effective simplification in the sense of memory efficiency, as judged relative to state of the art lossy image compression formats.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
