Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of both segmenting and reconstructing a noisy signal or image. The work is motivated by large problems arising in certain scientific applications, such as medical imaging. Two objectives for a segmentation and denoising algorithm are laid out: it should be computationally efficient and capable of generating statistics for the errors in the reconstruction and estimates of the boundary locations. The starting point for the development of a suitable algorithm is a variational approach to segmentation (Shah 1992). This paper then develops a precise statistical interpretation of a one dimensional (1-D) version of this variational approach to segmentation. The 1-D algorithm that arises as a result of this analysis is computationally efficient and capable of generating error statistics. A straightforward extension of this algorithm to two dimensions would incorporate recursive procedures for computing estimates of inhomogeneous Gaussian Markov random fields. Such procedures require an unacceptably large number of operations. To meet the objective of developing a computationally efficient algorithm, the use of previously developed multiscale statistical methods is investigated. This results in the development of an algorithm for segmenting and denoising which is not only computationally efficient but also capable of generating error statistics, as desired.

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
