Abstract
Kernel clustering of categorical data is a useful tool to process the separable datasets and has been employed in many disciplines. Despite recent efforts, existing methods for kernel clustering remain a significant challenge due to the assumption of feature independence and equal weights. In this study, we propose a self-expressive kernel subspace clustering algorithm for categorical data (SKSCC) using the self-expressive kernel density estimation (SKDE) scheme, as well as a new feature-weighted non-linear similarity measurement. In the SKSCC algorithm, we propose an effective non-linear optimization method to solve the clustering algorithm’s objective function, which not only considers the relationship between attributes in a non-linear space but also assigns a weight to each attribute in the algorithm to measure the degree of correlation. A series of experiments on some widely used synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrated the better effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared with other state-of-the-art methods, in terms of non-linear relationship exploration among attributes.

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
