Abstract
We present an algorithm for computing the minimum-rank positive semidefinite completion of a sparse matrix with a chordal sparsity pattern. This problem is tractable, in contrast to the minimum-rank positive semidefinite completion problem for general sparsity patterns. We also present a similar algorithm for the Euclidean distance matrix completion with minimum embedding dimension. The two algorithms use efficient recursions over a clique tree associated with the chordal sparsity pattern. As an application, we use the minimum-rank completion method as a rounding technique to convert the solution of a sparse semidefinite optimization problem with non-unique solutions to an optimal solution of lower rank. In experiments with semidefinite relaxations of optimal power flow problems, the minimum-rank completion often results in solutions of lower rank than the solutions computed by interior-point solvers.

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
