Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Romanian Crosswords Competition Problem is a challenging, NP-hard constraint optimization problem. The task is to fill a $13 \times 13$ grid with criss-crossing words and up to 26 black cells. Words from two lists, the thematic list and the regular list, can be utilized. Each thematic word adds a number of points equal to its length to the score and the objective is to maximize the score. A recent AI approach to the problem constructs seeds, partial solutions with a high density of points in a subarea of the grid. Seeds are then completed to full solutions via a stochastic search. We present an approach to significantly extend the size of a seed which makes completion via stochastic search more successful. Experiments demonstrate an improvement of the completed solutions over published state-of-the-art algorithms.

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.
