Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present Scalable Host-tree Embeddings for Efficient Partitioning (Sheep), a distributed graph partitioning algorithm capable of handling graphs that far exceed main memory. Sheep produces high quality edge partitions an order of magnitude faster than both state of the art offline (e.g., METIS) and streaming partitioners (e.g., Fennel). Sheep's partitions are independent of the input graph distribution, which means that graph elements can be assigned to processing nodes arbitrarily without affecting the partition quality. Sheep transforms the input graph into a strictly smaller elimination tree via a distributed map-reduce operation. By partitioning this tree, Sheep finds an upper-bounded communication volume partitioning of the original graph. We describe the Sheep algorithm and analyze its space-time requirements, partition quality, and intuitive characteristics and limitations. We compare Sheep to contemporary partitioners and demonstrate that Sheep creates competitive partitions, scales to larger graphs, and has better runtime.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
