Abstract
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is challenging in complex acoustic environments with background noise and interference. Utilizing spherical microphone arrays, closed-form estimators can be derived, which are attractive for practical applications due to their computational efficiency, eliminating the need for exhaustive extremum searching. However, current closed-form estimators are susceptible to interference. To address this issue, we propose an estimator that directly computes the DOA of the desired source using the covariance matrix of the observation signals. This approach effectively mitigates the impact of interference when the covariance matrix is accurately estimated. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method compared to the subspace pseudo-intensity vector (SSPIV) and relative harmonic coefficients (RHC) methods.

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
