Abstract
We present a novel MFCC-based scheme for the Bandwidth Extension (BWE) of narrowband speech. BWE is based on the assumption that narrowband speech (0.3–3.4 kHz) cor-relates closely with the highband signal (3.4–7 kHz), en-abling estimation of the highband frequency content given the narrow band. While BWE schemes have traditionally used LP-based parametrizations, our recent work has shown that MFCC parametrization results in higher correlation between both bands reaching twice that using LSFs. By employing high-resolution IDCT of highband MFCCs obtained from nar-rowband MFCCs by statistical estimation, we achieve high-quality highband power spectra from which the time-domain speech signal can be reconstructed. Implementing this scheme for BWE translates the higher correlation advantage of MFCCs into BWE performance superior to that obtained using LSFs, as shown by improvements in log-spectral distortion as well as Itakura-based measures (the latter improving by up to 13%). Index Terms: Bandwidth extension, high-resolution IDCT, highband certainty, mutual information, source-filter model

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
