Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We propose a framework for predicting erroneous design components from partially observed solution sets that are found through automated debugging tools. The proposed method involves learning design component dependencies by using historical debugging data and representing these dependencies by means of a probabilistic graph. Using this representation, one can run a debugging tool non-exhaustively, obtain a partial set of potentially erroneous components and then predict the remaining by applying a cost-effective belief propagation pass. The method can reduce debugging runtime when it comes to multiple debugging sessions by 15x on the average while achieving a 91% average prediction accuracy.

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.
