Abstract
This paper proposes an improved Max-Log-maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm for turbo decoding and turbo equalization. The proposed algorithm utilizes the MacLaurin Series to expand the logarithmic term in the Jacobian logarithmic function of the Log-MAP algorithm. In terms of complexity, the proposed algorithm can easily be implemented by means of adders and comparators as this is the case for the Max-Log-MAP algorithm. In addition, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs very closely to the Log-MAP algorithm for both turbo decoding over additive-white-Gaussian-noise channels and turbo equalization over frequency-selective channels. Further, it is shown than even in a high-loss intersymbol-interference channel, the proposed algorithm preserves its performance close to that of the Log-Map algorithm, while there is a wide gap between the performance of the Log-MAP and Max-Log-MAP turbo equalizers

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
