Abstract
Polymer processes often contain state variables whose distributions are multimodal; in addition, the models for these processes are often complex and nonlinear with uncertain parameters. This presents a challenge for Kalman-based state estimators such as the ensemble Kalman filter. We develop an estimator based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) coupled with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) specifically for estimation with multimodal state distributions. The expectation maximization algorithm is used for clustering in the Gaussian mixture model. The performance of the GMM-based EnKF is compared to that of the EnKF and the particle filter (PF) through simulations of a polymethyl methacrylate process, and it is seen that it clearly outperforms the other estimators both in state and parameter estimation. While the PF is also able to handle nonlinearity and multimodality, its lack of robustness to model-plant mismatch affects its performance significantly.

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
