Abstract
Lightweight Temporal Compression (LTC) is an energy-efficient lossy compression algorithm that maintains a memory usage and per-sample computational cost in O(1). The method provides a trade-off between compression ratio and accuracy using an error bound. In this paper, we present the Refined LTC (RLTC) algorithm, which uses a binning approach to widen the search space and increase the LTC's compression ratio and reduce its dynamic energy consumption, which is characterized by CPU computations and radio transmissions, without compromising the error bound. The proposed RLTC algorithm adds negligible overhead to the memory usage and latency of LTC. Experimental results on an environmental sensor dataset have shown that the LTC's compressed byte stream can be further reduced in size by up to 18%, while the dynamic energy consumption is reduced by 9.5% on average.

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
