Abstract
This tutorial aims to provide an intuitive introduction to Gaussian process regression (GPR). GPR models have been widely used in machine learning applications due to their representation flexibility and inherent capability to quantify uncertainty over predictions. The tutorial starts with explaining the basic concepts that a Gaussian process is built on, including multivariate normal distribution, kernels, nonparametric models, and joint and conditional probability. It then provides a concise description of GPR and an implementation of a standard GPR algorithm. In addition, the tutorial reviews packages for implementing state-of-the-art Gaussian process algorithms. This tutorial is accessible to a broad audience, including those new to machine learning, ensuring a clear understanding of GPR fundamentals.

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
