Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the classic version of the game of firefighter, on the first turn a fire breaks out on a vertex in a graph G and then b firefighters protect b vertices. On each subsequent turn, the fire spreads to the collective unburned neighbourhood of all the burning vertices and the firefighters again protect b vertices. Once a vertex has been burned or protected it remains that way for the rest of the game. In distance-restricted firefighting the firefighters’ movement is restricted so they can only move up to some fixed distance d and they may or may not be permitted to move through burning vertices. In this paper we establish the NP-completeness of the distance-restricted versions of b -Firefighter and present an integer program for computing the exact value. We also discuss some interesting properties of the Expected Damage function.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
