Abstract
Abstract The statistical processing of sensor data using conventional digital computers is inefficient in terms of time, energy usage, and communication bandwidth, among others. Therefore, new approaches are sought to create context and make sense of the sensor data using special‐purpose computers that excel in specific computation tasks. Herein, the requirements for physical systems to perform sophisticated nonlinear computations needed for real‐time pattern recognition in data, specifically sensor data, are discussed. The focus is on physical reservoir computing as a neuromorphic computing approach. Considering energy flow as the coupling mechanism between nonlinear dynamic systems, it is demonstrated that many physical systems satisfy the basic requirements for building reservoir computers. Using physical reservoir computers brings up exciting opportunities for near‐ or in‐sensor computing as to how new data are collected and processed. The concepts are demonstrated through a novel physical computation platform, where off‐the‐shelf, temperature‐sensitive resistors are used to perform various standard and specific computational tasks. This platform is used as a near‐sensor processor to detect particular events. How a similar platform may be used for in‐sensor neuromorphic computations is further discussed.

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
