Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we introduce the syndrome loss, an alternative loss function for neural error-correcting decoders based on a relaxation of the syndrome. The syndrome loss penalizes the decoder for producing outputs that do not correspond to valid codewords. We show that training with the syndrome loss yields decoders with consistently lower frame error rate for a number of short block codes, at little additional cost during training and no additional cost during inference. The proposed method does not depend on knowledge of the transmitted codeword, making it a promising tool for online adaptation to changing channel conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
