Improved modeling of the correlation between continuous-valued sources in LDPC-based DSC
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Accurate modeling of the correlation between the sources plays a crucial role in the efficiency of distributed source coding (DSC) systems. This correlation is commonly modeled in the binary domain by using a single binary symmetric channel (BSC), both for binary and continuous-valued sources. We show that “one” BSC cannot accurately capture the correlation between continuous-valued sources; a more accurate model requires “multiple” BSCs, as many as the number of bits used to represent each sample. We incorporate this new model into the DSC system that uses low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for compression. The standard Slepian-Wolf LDPC decoder requires a slight modification so that the parameters of all BSCs are integrated in the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs). Further, using an interleaver the data belonging to different bit-planes are shuffled to introduce randomness in the binary domain. The new system has the same complexity and delay as the standard one. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed model and system.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
