Abstract
This paper proposes a novel design for Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) used in ultra-high-speed wireline communication. We take advantage of the propagated errors caused by Decision-Feedback Equalizer (DFE) to activate and guide the MLSE, thereby reducing its complexity. The design is customized for a 4-PAM, 1 + D signaling system, and synthesized in 16nm FinFET TSMC Technology. For comparison purposes, a conventional MLSE is also synthesized in the same technology. The synthesis report confirms that the proposed design consumes 1/10 of the power and occupies 1/15 of the area required by the conventional MLSE while having a comparable bit error rate.

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
