Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Steiner tree problem is a typical NP-hard problem, which has vast application background and has been an active research topic in recent years. Stochastic optimization problem is an important branch in the field of optimization. Compared with deterministic optimization problem, it is an optimization problem with random factors, and requires the use of tools such as probability and statistics, stochastic process and stochastic analysis. In this paper, we study a two-stage finite-scenario stochastic prize-collecting Steiner tree problem, where the goal is to minimize the sum of the first stage cost, the expected second stage cost and the expected penalty cost. Our main contribution is to present a primal-dual 3-approximation algorithm for this problem.</p>

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
