Abstract
<p>It is well known that the classical numerical algorithm of the steepest descent method (SDM) is effective for well-posed linear systems, but performs poorly for ill-posed ones. In this paper we propose accelerated and/or bidirectional modifications of SDM, namely the accelerated steepest descent method (ASDM), the bidirectional method (2DM), and the accelerated bidirectional method (A2DM). The starting point is a manifold defined in terms of a minimum functional and a fictitious time variable; nevertheless, in the end the fictitious time variable disappears so that we arrive at purely iterative algorithms. The proposed algorithms are justified by dynamics-theoretical and optimization interpretation. The accelerator plays a prominent role of switching from the situation of slow convergence to a new situation that the functional tends to decrease stepwise in an intermittent and ceaseless manner. Three examples of solving ill-posed systems are examined and comparisons are made with exact solutions and with the existing algorithms of the SDM, the Barzilai-Borwein method, and the random SDM, revealing that the new algorithms of ASDM and A2DM have better computational efficiency and accuracy even for the highly ill-posed systems.</p>

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
