Abstract
Asphalt mixing is an industrial activity of which energy consumption can reach 60% of the total energy consumed by the construction and maintenance of a road over a 30-year service life. Hot mix asphalt plant represents the most common process found in the road sector. Hot bitumen fumes however contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds, and, moreover, the use of recycled bitumen can lead to generating various emissions. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may also be emitted from the process itself, a step that requires warming and drying aggregate through combustion. In the aim of minimizing emissions, it has become necessary to identify the set of major influential parameters. A joint research program involving several institutions has been laid out to conduct an experimental campaign on the Blois Hot Mix Asphalt plant, with quantification of the 16 PAH listed by the USEPA. Variations in asphalt recycling rate favour emissions of heavy molecular weight PAH, among those analysed.

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
