Abstract
End-point phosphorus content in steel in a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) acts as an indicator of the quality of manufactured steel. An undesirable amount of phosphorus is removed from the steel by the process of dephosphorization. The degree of phosphorus removal is captured numerically by the ‘partition ratio’, given by the ratio of %wt phosphorus in slag and %wt phosphorus in steel. Due to the presence of multitudes of process variables, often, it is challenging to predict the partition ratio based on operating conditions. Herein, a robust data-driven classification technique of least squares twin support vector machines (LSTSVM) is applied to classify the ‘partition ratio’ to two categories (‘High’ and ‘Low’) steels indicating a greater or lesser degree of phosphorus removal, respectively. LSTSVM is a simpler, more robust, and faster alternative to the twin support vector machines (TWSVM) with respect to non-parallel hyperplanes-based binary classifications. The relationship between the ‘partition ratio’ and the chemical composition of slag and tapping temperatures is studied based on approximately 16,000 heats from two BOF plants. In our case, a relatively higher model accuracy is achieved, and LSTSVM performed 1.5–167 times faster than other applied algorithms.

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
