Abstract
With the increasing use of models for software development and the emergence of model-driven engineering, it has become important to build accurate and precise models that present certain characteristics. Model transformation testing is a domain that requires generating a large number of models that satisfy coverage properties (cover the code of the transformation or the structure of the metamodel). However, manually building a set of models to test a transformation is a tedious task and having an automatic technique to generate models from a metamodel would be very helpful. We investigate the synthesis of models based on plans. Each plan comprises of a sequence of model synthesis rules (or mutation operators) specified as Graph Grammar (GG) rules. These mutation operators are primitive GG rules , automatically obtained from any meta-model. Such plans can be evolved by various artificial intelligence techniques to generate useful models for different tasks including model transformation testing.

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
