Abstract
Clustering has been widely used for data pre-processing, mining, and analysis. The k-means clustering algorithm is commonly used because of its simplicity and flexibility to work in many real-life applications and services. Despite being commonly used, the k-means algorithm suffers from non-deterministic results and run times that greatly vary depending on the initial selection of cluster centroids. To improve the k-means algorithm, we present in this paper a border k-means clustering algorithm. It combines concepts from the k-means algorithm with an additional focus on the concepts of the borders dividing clusters. Consequently, the resulting border k-means algorithm leads to deterministic results and a great reduction in run time when compared with the traditional k-means algorithm.

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
