Abstract
Clock synchronization is a fundamental issue in communication networks and distributed systems, and clock skew is the inherent cause for clock desynchronization. Clock skew estimation is essential to improve the efficiency and reduce the overhead of clock synchronization schemes, and it is especially beneficial for resource-constrained devices such as sensor nodes in dynamic environments. According to the measurement, clock skew is environment sensitive, and no existing clock skew estimation schemes can accurately capture such dynamic behaviors. In this paper, we investigate a general clock synchronization problem with variable clock skews and propose a new skew estimation model based on a hybrid approach to characterizing the dynamic of clock skews. To estimate the time-varying clock state vector, we employ the Interactive Multi-Model (IMM) Kalman filter, which can make soft decisions by combining results from different models. Extensive simulations have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive clock skew estimation algorithm, which achieves a better performance with moderate computational complexity.

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
