Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We propose a class of Fisher-consistent robust estimators for mixture models. These estimators are then used to build a robust model-based clustering procedure. We study in detail the case of multivariate Gaussian mixtures and propose an algorithm, similar to the EM algorithm, to compute the proposed estimators and build the robust clusters. An extensive Monte Carlo simulation study shows that our proposal outperforms other robust and non robust, state of the art, model-based clustering procedures. We apply our proposal to a real data set and show that again it outperforms alternative procedures.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
