Abstract
We aim to factor a sparse polynomial a ∈ Z[ x 1 , ···, x n ] represented by a black box. The authors have previously developed efficient sparse Hensel lifting algorithms for the monic and square-free case that outperforms the algorithm by Kaltofen and Trager in 1990. We complete this black box factorization problem for the non-monic case with a new algorithm that computes the factors of a using many non-monic bivariate Hensel lifts. Our algorithm handles all cases of input a ∈ Z[ x 1 , ···, x n ] including the non-square-free and the non-primitive cases. We have implemented the algorithm in Maple with all major subroutines coded in C for efficiency.

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
