Abstract
This work addresses a class of distributed optimization problems where the global objective function is the sum of multiple local convex smooth functions privately held by a group of working agents. Upon modeling the unconstrained distributed optimization problem as a linearly constrained centralized one, a communication-efficient event-triggered first-order primal-dual algorithm that only requires light local computation at each generic time instant and peer-to-peer communication at sporadic triggering time instants is developed to solve the global problem. An O(1/k) convergence rate is ensured, provided that the stepsize satisfies a condition that relates to the Lipschitz constant of the gradient and the Laplacian of the communication graph, and the time-varying triggering threshold is monotonically decreasing and summable. The proposed method is applied to a decentralized logistic regression problem to illustrate its effectiveness, especially in saving communication resources.

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
