Abstract
In this paper, we consider a wireless network consisting of a base station (BS) that is serving multiple real-time traffic streams forwarding information updates to their destinations in order to sustain the freshness of information. Since the wireless channels may be unreliable due to the impurities of the propagation environments, such as deep fading, blockages, etc., we integrate a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to the wireless system in order to mitigate the propagation-induced impairments, enhance the quality of the wireless links, and ensure that the required freshness of information is achieved for these real time applications. For this network set-up, we investigate the joint optimization of the traffic streams scheduling and the RIS phase-shift matrix with the goal of minimizing the sum Age of Information (AoI). In order to solve this optimization problem, we propose an efficient algorithm based on a change-of-variables with semi-definite relaxation (SDR). Finally, we perform extensive simulations to verify the effectiveness of our proposed method against other baseline schemes.

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
