Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this thesis is to attempt an artificial neural network (ANN) built from simple analog components that can potentially be manufactured on the moon. The ANN should discover a mapping between inputs and outputs via a feedback loop and train weights that produce a desired output. The methodology for the circuits consists of forward propagation, calculating new weights, and backpropagating the weights until trained. It is observed that with the trained weights for a pair of inputs, a new pair of similar inputs can predict desired outputs. As a specific use case, the circuit’s output is used to showcase simulated obstacle avoidance. It is concluded an ANN architecture constructed with simple electronic components can be utilized for robotic control but further work will be required toward building circuits for batch training data that can be manufactured on the moon.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
