Abstract
Abstract Computational convex analysis focuses on developing efficient tools to compute fundamental transforms arising in convex analysis. Symbolic computation tools have been developed, and have allowed more insight into the calculation of the Fenchel conjugate and related transforms. When such tools are not applicable e.g. when there is no closed form, fast transform algorithms perform numerical computation efficiently. However, computing the composition of several transforms is difficult to achieve with fast transform algorithms, which is the case for the recently introduced proximal average operator. We consider the class of piecewise linear‐quadratic functions which, being closed under the most relevant operations in convex analysis, allows the robust and efficient numerical computation of compositions of transforms like the proximal average. The algorithms presented are hybrid symbolic‐numeric: they first compute a piecewise linear‐quadratic approximation of the function, and then manipulate the approximation symbolically.

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
