Abstract
Weighted set sampling has been proven essential for generating discrete numbers based on their weights and found broad applications in recommendation systems. The extension of this method, known as weighted range set sampling (WRSS), specifies a query range and applies weighted set sampling to the data within that range. With the proliferation of cloud computing, outsourcing encrypted data and data processing tasks to cloud servers has become a common practice to overcome data storage and processing challenges while protecting data privacy. Existing studies have proposed many privacy-preserving solutions for various customized query and data processing tasks, none have specifically addressed privacy-preserving WRSS. In response to this gap, our paper introduces an efficient and privacy-preserving WRSS scheme. We begin by leveraging the three-party secret sharing (TPSS) scheme as a foundation to design an enhanced three-party secret sharing (eTPSS) scheme with superior storage and computational efficiency. Building upon the eTPSS scheme, we introduce a series of private algorithms to safeguard WRSS privacy. Our scheme integrates the use of a binary search tree and the alias method for WRSS, ensuring privacy through eTPSS-based private algorithms. A thorough security analysis under the simulation-based real/ideal worlds model showcases the effectiveness of our proposed scheme. The proposed scheme's efficiency has been substantiated through extensive experiments, demonstrating that our scheme marks a significant advancement in addressing the challenges posed by privacy-preserving WRSS.

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
