Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Let be a random variable of a Riemannian manifold. We assume that the C2‐probability density function of exists. This research addresses two variational questions. The first concerns sets that maximize their probability among those that have a fixed volume. We prove that such a set must have a probability density function that is constant along its boundary; equivalently, such a set must be a density level set. We also obtain the equations related to the maximization property (the stability of the solutions). The other variational problem is the inverse of the first question, namely which sets minimize their volume among those sets which have a predetermined probability? The solution of this problem will define a notion of a quantile set. We show that the solutions of both variational problems coincide (the critical point equation and the stability condition). As theoretical applications, we consider a decision‐making problem and fuzzy sets. As practical applications, we first explore how to locate a powerplant, and subsequently develop a model for a distribution of cheetahs.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
