Image completion with global structure and weighted nuclear norm regularization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Structure and nonlocal patch similarity have been used successfully to enhance the performance of image restoration. However, these techniques can often remove textures and edges, or introduce artifacts. In this paper, we propose a novel image completion method that leverages the redundancy of nonlocal image patches via the low-rank regularization of similar patch groups. The textures and edges in these patches are preserved using an adaptive regularization technique based on the weighted nuclear norm. Furthermore, a new global structure regularization strategy, imposing ℓ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> -norm sparsity on the image's high-frequency residual component, is presented to recover missing pixels while preserving structural information in the image. An efficient optimization technique, based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm, is used to solve the proposed model. Experimental results show our method to outperform state-of-the-art image completion approaches, for various text-corrupted images and different ratios of missing pixels.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
