Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Robotic Process Automation has emerged in recent years as an important field by allowing faster and more secure processes through a reduction in the risks or errors but also an increase in the productivity rates of many industries. In this specific paper, the RPA problem aims at assigning financial transactions to software robots to minimize the total costs, induced by the licenses and utilization time. The problem is represented as a bipartite graph and the effective resistance of the graph, which is analog to an electrical circuit, is used to order the edges of a heuristic method to assign the transactions to robots. Preliminary results, based on real data from a bank, are compared to the optimal solution obtained by a linear integer programming model. They show that the heuristic method allows to obtain results quicker and that they are near the optimal solution.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
