Abstract
The study proposes a robust algorithm for batch-to-batch optimization in the presence of model-mismatch. Robustness is achieved by the implementation of the following features: i — the gradient correction step is modified to consider the gradients of the cost function and constraints at both final and intermediate points, ii — Economic Model Predictive Control is applied to mitigate the impact of unmeasured disturbances on the optimum, and iii — an optimal design of experiments is performed to expedite convergence. Significant improvements of the proposed algorithm in convergence to the process optimum and robustness to noise, unmeasured disturbances, and model error are demonstrated using a fed-batch fermentation for penicillin production. • Traditional batch-to-batch optimization algorithm was enhanced by incorporating 3 novel steps. • Proposed gradient correction reduced noise sensitivity and improved optima. • Economic predictive control is used to reject unmeasured disturbances in the batch. • Application of optimal experimental design reduced costs and time to achieve the optimum. • Fed-batch penicillin process was used to show the improvements in performance.

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
