Abstract
We propose a hyperspectral image compressor called BH which considers its input image as being partitioned into square blocks, each lying entirely within a particular band, and compresses one such block at a time by using the following steps: first predict the block from the corresponding block in the previous band, then select a predesigned code based on the prediction errors, and finally encode the predictor coefficient and errors. Apart from giving good compression rates and being fast, BH can provide random access to spatial locations in the image. We hypothesize that BH works well because it accommodates the rapidly changing image brightness that often occurs in hyperspectral images. We also propose an intra-band compressor called LM which is worse than BH, but whose performance helps explain BH's performance.

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
