Abstract
A determining factor to the utility of optimization algorithms is their cost. A strategy to contain this cost is to reduce the dimension of the search space by detecting the most important variables and optimizing over them only. Recently, sensitivity measures that rely on the Hilbert Schmidt Independence criterion (HSIC) adapted to optimization variables have been proposed. In this work, the HSIC sensitivities are used within a new Bayesian global optimization algorithm in order to reduce the dimension of the problem. At each iteration, the activation of optimization variables is challenged in a deterministic or probabilistic manner. Several strategies for filling in the variables that are dropped out are proposed. Numerical tests are carried out at low number of function evaluations that confirm the computational gains brought by the HSIC variable selection and point to the complementarity of the variable selection and fill-in strategies.

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
