Abstract
A popular way to create domain-independent heuristic functions is by using abstraction, where an abstract (coarse) version of the state space is derived from the original state space. An abstraction-based heuristic is usually implemented using a pattern database, a lookup table of (abstract state, heuristic value) pairs. Efficient representation and compression of pattern databases has been the topic of substantial ongoing research. In this paper, we present a novel domain-independent algorithm for this purpose using acyclic r-partite random hypergraphs. The theoretical and experimental results show that our proposed algorithm provides a consistent representation that works well across planning problem domains and provides a good trade-off between space usage and lookup time. Thus, it is suitable to be a standard efficient representation for pattern databases and a benchmark method for other pattern database representation/compression methods.

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
