Abstract
In this article, an online truthful mechanism is designed for mobile crowdsensing systems. Traditionally, the scenario where participants arrived at the platform in an online manner has been widely discussed in existing works. On the contrary, we focus on random task arrival case to design an online truthful mechanism by jointly considering the cost budget and the requirement of sensed data of each participant. Specifically, when the task arrives, the platform must make decisions in a sequence to select a specific number of participants to obtain a better competitive ratio (CR). To address this issue, an online strategy-proof incentive mechanism is designed to minimize the social cost of the whole system and achieve truthfulness by applying the auction framework. Moreover, in order to further improve the CR of the online algorithm, a more efficient online scheme is proposed if more information on the participants is available at the platform. Theoretical and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed online truthful mechanisms.

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
