Abstract
Many datasets from real-world applications have very high-dimensional or increasing feature space. It is a new research problem to learn and maintain a classifier to deal with very high dimensionality or streaming features. In this article, we adapt the well-known emerging-pattern--based classification models and propose a semi-streaming approach. For streaming features, it is computationally expensive or even prohibitive to mine long-emerging patterns, and it is nontrivial to integrate emerging-pattern mining with feature selection. We present an online feature selection step, which is capable of selecting and maintaining a pool of effective features from a feature stream. Then, in our offline step, separated from the online step, we periodically compute and update emerging patterns from the pool of selected features from the online step. We evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method using a series of benchmark datasets and a real-world case study on Mars crater detection. Our proposed method yields classification performance comparable to the state-of-art static classification methods. Most important, the proposed method is significantly faster and can efficiently handle datasets with streaming features.

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
