Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Additional informationNotes on contributorsAlex FinkAlex Fink (finka@math.berkeley.edu) is a 20-year-old native of Calgary and a first-year mathematics graduate student at the University of California Berkeley. He completed undergraduate degrees in mathematics and computer science at the University of Calgary, where he held several undergraduate research grants from NSERC, a number of them supervised by Richard Guy. Some of Alex's mathematical interests are combinatorics (in particular combinatorial games), number theory, and algebraic geometry. He has represented Canada and the University of Calgary in several competitions, including the Math Olympics, the Putnam Competition, and the ACM International Collegiate Programming Championship. Alex's interests also include linguistics, and he enjoys constructing languages in his spare time.Richard GuyRichard Guy (rkg@cpsc.ucalgary.ca) has enjoyed teaching mathematics from kindergarten to post-graduate level in three different continents. He has published 300 papers, including two with the editor. He has written or edited twenty volumes, four of which are Winning Ways, jointly with Elwyn Berlekamp and John Conway. His first joint paper with Alex Fink had an age-ratio greater than 5 and age-difference greater than 70. With his wife Louise, he still likes to hike and ski; the picture was taken on The Towers in Assiniboine Park on his 90th birthday.

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.
