Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The method for generating random d × d correlation matrices with a partial correlation C-vine is extended so that each correlation can have a distribution that is asymmetric on ( − 1 , 1 ) or on ( 0 , 1 ) . With the recursion formulas from the partial correlation C-vine to the correlation matrix, first and second moments can be derived, in the case of the same distribution for each partial correlation in tree ℓ of the vine ( 1 ≤ ℓ < d ). Algorithms and conditions are given so that, after a permutation step, all random correlations have a common mean and second moment. The algorithms can be useful for simulation experiments to generate random correlation matrices that cover the whole space or with the restriction that each correlation is positive.

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.
