Abstract
Water distribution networks have significant impact on public health. Based on the 2013 ASCE’s report card, 21st century estimated to be the end of effective life for the majority of water distribution networks in the United States. It is essential to implement accurate and cost-effective models to estimate deterioration rates along with remaining useful life (RUL) of the pipelines to select and perform necessary intervention plans to prevent disastrous failures. This study aims to present a computational model to predict the RUL of water pipelines utilizing artificial neural network (ANN) model. Literature reveals that condition, length, diameter, and breakage rate are the most important factors in prediction of RUL. Based on the available data from the city of Montreal, the condition of pipelines is identified and used as the inputs for ANN model in addition to physical data. Since the model shows robustness and accuracy in estimating RUL, it can support municipality of Montreal in future planning.

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
