Abstract
Neural networks offer various possibilities for function approximation. When provided a set of data points, the network learns to approximate the underlying function that generates those points. Although the network can be very efficient, the amount computation needed during the learning process can be very high. In order to improve this process, we explore the parallelization for the random scanning of starting points selected for the gradient descent algorithm using Cell-BE multiprocessor environment. We show the application of this method for approximating 3D nonlinear function, as well as for predicting 2D time series. We show that the parallel tracing of gradient descent trajectories of the 3D function approximation allows identifying a suitable starting condition for implementing an efficient gradient descent, while being able deliver the required accuracy of approximation in a shorter time. In 2D time series prediction the attained advantage is the possibility to achieve simultaneous prediction for various numbers of steps ahead. It is shown how the Cell-BE multiprocessor offers a convenient parallel environment for the above solutions.

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
