Abstract
Amidst recent advancements in the 3D digital representation that have significantly enhanced the modeling of geometric attributes of pre-existing environments, accurate estimation of acoustic boundary conditions remains a complex challenge. This paper presents a novel way to determine what we refer to as a neural boundary field, using physics-informed neural networks (PINN). The aim is to estimate the surface impedance measured in-situ by utilizing several points of sound field pressure. This approach couples the Helmholtz equation with automatic differentiation in the PINN framework to estimate accurately the surface impedance using a hybrid modeling approach where measurement data and domain knowledge in the form of equations for the acoustic waves are combined. As a proof-of-concept, we train the neural networks using 2D sound field data obtained from high-fidelity numerical acoustical simulations that incorporate actual surface materials parameters. We discuss the measurement techniques associated with this method and outline our vision for its application to 3D scene reconstructions in the future.

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
