Abstract
Non-convex optimization continues to be a fundamental challenge in applied mathematics, engineering, and data science, with applications that encompass machine learning and image processing.Building on the recent Dilara, Ebru, and Ibrahim (DEI) conjugate gradient method (a conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm designed for nonconvex problems), this paper proposes three novel hybrid CG algorithms-NEW1, NEW2, and NEW3-that aim to expedite convergence by adaptively updating the rule that forms each new search direction (often denoted as ) while maintaining theoretical guarantees of global convergence and sufficient descent.We provide detailed convergence proofs for each algorithm under standard assumptions.Comprehensive evaluations on 32 benchmark functions with varying dimensionality and conditioning show average reductions of up to 49% in the number of iterations (NOI) and up to 60% in the number of function (NOF) evaluations, compared to DEI.In practical terms, these gains translate into lower computational costs on challenging real-world problems (e.g., engineering design and machine learning optimization) without sacrificing robustness, positioning NEW1-NEW3 as efficient, theoretically grounded alternatives to conventional CG methods.

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
