Abstract
Inspired by biological swimming and flying with distributed sensing, we propose a data-driven approach for load estimation that relies on complex networks. We exploit sparse, real-time pressure inputs, combined with pre-trained transition networks, to estimate aerodynamic loads in unsteady and highly separated flows. The transition networks contain the aerodynamic states of the system as nodes along with the underlying dynamics as links. A weighted average-based (WAB) strategy is proposed and tested on realistic experimental data on the flow around an accelerating elliptical plate at various angles of attack. Aerodynamic loads are then estimated for angles-of-attack cases not included in the training dataset so as to simulate the estimation process. An optimization process is also included to account for the system's temporal dynamics. Performance and limitations of the WAB approach are discussed, showing that transition networks can represent a versatile and effective data-driven tool for real-time signal estimation using sparse and noisy signals (such as surface pressure) in realistic flows.

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
