Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In this work, we focus on stochastic modeling for sustainable systems and introduce the family of r -modified reliability systems. This new family generalizes classical reliability systems studied in the literature by considering the components in the system to exhibit a kind of dependence that relaxes the component operating requirements and provides energy and resource efficiency. From a theoretical viewpoint, such a dependence is modeled with the use of a modified binary sequence. We then derive the reliability of two members of the family, i.e., the r -modified- k -out-of- n : F system and the r -modified-consecutive- k -out-of- n : F system, under different assumptions on the component reliabilities by using a variety of approaches, including Markov chains, combinatorial methods, and simple probabilistic arguments. We finally give some examples of real-life systems wherein the developed models and results are applicable and present the corresponding numerical results.

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.
