Abstract
ComSoc)-sponsored IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.It is the society's primary forum for reporting the latest research results and innovations, regulations, standards, industry practice innovations, and policies in the exciting, emerging, and challenging area of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.It was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on May 1-5, 2023, at the Sofi tel Dubai Downtown Hotel.It was a challenging task to win the bid for Dubai as we were a bit late in bidding, but this happened at the end of the Corona pandemic times, too, which provided a very good planning basis for ICBC, since Dubai's measures and procedures for daily life and event organizations in the context of the pandemic had almost returned to normal.We acknowledge proudly the help of Dubai Tourism in enhancing the bid by off ering the conference's attendees with ample information about what Dubai could off er to visitors.The support and gold sponsorship of the Canadian University Dubai and the support of the IEEE UAE Section were also highly valuable in helping secure the bid despite stiff competition.The excellent location (at Downtown Dubai) was carefully chosen, and the hotel's local amenities and performance to the high satisfaction of the attendees.Just to exemplify, breakfast as part of the room fees and lunches as part of the conference fees off ered a very wide range of local and international food options with high quality.Although the hotel venue was close to the many attractions Dubai is off ering, the rate of attendance of the conference was noticeably high till the last workshop on CryptoEx'23.Overall, three social events were organized during the conference, the fi rst one was a cocktail reception by the grass-pool of the hotel overlooking Burj Khalifa and Dubai Downtown.The second one was a Dhow cruise and dinner in the Dubai Marina area with music and Tennoura dance show.And the third one was the Gala Dinner at the hotel's ballroom with a sumptuous banquet.Thus, the fi rst dimension of an attractive set-up for an important conference and event had been dealt with successfully.On the second dimension, especially the technical content of an IEEE event, in this year's edition of ICBC 2023, we have received 266 submissions, including full/short papers, posters, Systematization-of-Knowledge (SoK) papers, and Demos, which had been contributed to by 694 authors from 37 countries.In addition, two workshops had been collocated with the main conference track, namely CryptoEx'23 and Crosschain'23.Out of these overall submissions, about 24.7% were from North America, 31% from Europe, 33.4% from Asia/pacifi c, 5.1% from Australia, and 5.8% from the rest of the world.While each paper had received at least three reviews, from the technical program committee consisting of 175 experts in total, overall, 130 papers (including workshops) were retained to appear in the proceedings in its diff erent categories.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
