Abstract
Video and audio communication on mobile devices involves dynamic channels with fluctuating error rates along with the added constraints of battery efficiency and resource-limited hardware. Forward error correction (FEC) is a common method for error recovery but introduces computational and bandwidth overhead. To enhance FEC efficiency, machine learning (ML) can adapt error correction based on current channel dynamics. Existing solutions often use complex models, leading to performance issues and inefficiency. Our proposed solution prioritizes energy efficiency and practical deployment by combining Reed-Solomon coding and supervised learning. This approach corrects up to 60% of errors and achieves 2.5 times better energy efficiency than standard WebRTC and 1.7 times better efficiency than non-adaptive Reed-Solomon coding.

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
