Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we propose a modification that speeds up the convergence of the randomized Kaczmarz algorithm for systems of linear equations with sparse solutions. The speedup is achieved by projecting every iterate onto a weighted row of the linear system while maintaining the random row selection criteria of Strohmer and Vershynin. While the Kaczmarz algorithm and its variants can only find solutions to overdetermined linear systems, our algorithm surprisingly succeeds in finding sparse solutions to underdetermined linear systems as well. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the accelerated convergence in the overdetermined case as well as the sparse recovery capabilities of our approach in the underdetermined case.

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.
