Abstract
In this paper, an embedded feature selection based on variational relevance vector machines is proposed to simultaneously perform feature selection and model construction. With the settings of specific hierarchical priors over the parameters of an automatic relevance determination kernel (ARDK) function, an approximate posterior distribution over these parameters is here derived and expressed as a multivariate Gaussian distribution, in which a first-order Taylor expansion-based Laplace approximation with respect to the parameters is introduced into the variational inference procedure. The posterior distributions, rather than generic pointwise estimates, over the rest of parameters of the model are also derived. The proposed method can simultaneously select relevant features and samples by adjusting the parameters of ARDK and the weighting vector, respectively. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a synthetic dataset and a number of benchmark datasets, as well as a practical industrial dataset, are employed to solve the regression and classification problems. These experimental results indicate that the proposed method supports the mechanisms of feature selection and model construction while maintaining prediction performance, particularly in an industrial environment.

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
