Abstract
One of the challenges of utilizing soft sensors is that their prediction accuracy deteriorates with time due to multiple factors, including changes in operating conditions. Once soft sensors are designed, a mechanism to maintain or update these models is highly desirable in industry. This paper proposes an index that can monitor the prediction performance of soft sensor models and provide guidance about when to update these models. In the proposed approach, a Kalman filter based model mismatch index is developed to monitor the prediction performance of soft sensors with the support of traditional process monitoring indexes, T 2 and SPE. Then, the soft sensor model can be updated through partial least squares (PLS) regression by using samples from the off-line training set and new process conditions. The proposed online update method is applied to an industrial process case study and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing with traditional recursive partial least squares (RPLS).

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
