Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents a novel distributed strategy for maximizing prioritized (weighted) coverage in mobile sensor networks. Some results from the multi-agent systems theory are used to generate a control signal composed of both the velocity consensus term and gradient vector to enhance coverage. By selecting appropriate parameters, the approach ensures that all sensors within the network move to proper positions, thereby maximizing prioritized coverage while accounting for obstacles in the environment. The stability and convergence of the proposed algorithm are proved using the modified LaSalle’s invariance method. Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the control strategy.

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.
