Abstract
Dining areas vary in type from quiet and intimate to very lively, and the acoustical character varies as well. Large spaces tend to be more lively and see more transient occupancy, but the designs often try to balance a more intimate setting for conversations, while retaining a dynamic and exciting atmosphere. The atmosphere will also vary depending on the type of space: the acoustical character will differ in food courts, smaller, more intimate restaurants, and urban restaurants with lively bar areas. In spaces without significant amplified background music, the sound level is dominated by speech, and communication quality is therefore of importance. The acoustic properties of such spaces are strongly affected by the occupancy level, due to the changes in reverberation and ‘self-noise’ or ‘din’ of the occupants themselves. Recent field measurements and experience with several dining spaces at varying levels of occupancy are reviewed herein.

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
