Abstract
In this paper, we examine the problem of modeling overdispersed frequency vectors that are naturally generated by several machine learning and computer vision applications. We consider a statistical framework based on a mixture of Multinomial Scaled Dirichlet (MSD) distributions that we have previously proposed in [1]. Given that the likelihood function plays a key role in statistical inference, e.g. in maximum likelihood estimation and Fisher information matrix investigation, we propose to improve the efficiency of computing the MSD log-likelihood by approximating its function based on Bernoulli polynomials. As compared to [1], the log-likelihood function is computed using the proposed mesh algorithm and a model selection approach is seamlessly integrated with the parameters estimation. The improved clustering framework offers a good compromise between other techniques and improves the approach used before for the same model. The merits of the proposed approach are validated via a challenging application that involves human action recognition.

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
