Abstract
A recent work [1] proposed a novel Group Sparse Classifier (GSC) that was based on the assumption that the training samples of a particular class approximately form a linear basis for any test sample belonging to that class. The Group Sparse Classifier requires solving an NP hard group-sparsity promoting optimization problem. Thus a convex relaxation of the optimization problem was proposed. The convex optimization problem, however, needs to be solved by quadratic programming and hence requires a large amount of computational time. To overcome this, we propose novel greedy (sub-optimal) algorithms for directly addressing the NP hard minimization problem. We call the classifiers based on these greedy group sparsity promoting algorithms as Fast Group Sparse Classifiers (FGSC). This work shows that the FGSC has nearly the same accuracy (at 95% confidence level) as the GSC, but with much faster computational speed (nearly two orders of magnitude). When certain conditions hold the GSC and the FGSC are robust to dimensionality reduction via random projection. By robust, we mean that the classification accuracy is approximately the same before and after random projection. The robustness of these classifi ers will be theoretically proved, and will be validated by thorough experimentation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
