Abstract
This work presents a nonparametric Bayesian approach that utilizes a mixture of multivariate Libby-Novick Beta distributions to address clustering challenges. When using mixtures, model selection is a significant obstacle. As a solution to this problem, we extend the finite Libby-Novick Beta mixture model (FLNBMM)to the infinite case. This enables us to accurately represent the data distribution by accommodating an unspecified number of mixture components. We develop a Bayesian inference strategy based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo to estimate the posterior distribution, which provides strong power and flexibility for modeling and analyzing complicated data. Our suggested method’s effectiveness is assessed on three applications and contrasted with that of FLNBMM, the infinite Gaussian mixture model (IGMM), and the finite Gaussian mixture model (FGMM) to show the efficacy of our methodology. It is evident from the results that our proposed model is a good alternative.

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
