Abstract
In this paper, we explore optimal subsampling strategies for estimating the parametric regression coefficients in partially linear models with unknown nuisance functions involving high-dimensional and potentially endogenous covariates. To address model misspecifications and the curse of dimensionality, we leverage flexible machine learning (ML) techniques to estimate the unknown nuisance functions. By constructing an unbiased subsampling Neyman-orthogonal score function, we eliminate regularization bias. A two-step algorithm is then used to obtain appropriate ML estimators of the nuisance functions, mitigating the risk of over-fitting. Using martingale techniques, we establish the unconditional consistency and asymptotic normality of the subsample estimators. Furthermore, we derive optimal subsampling probabilities, including A-optimal and L-optimal probabilities as special cases. The proposed optimal subsampling approach is extended to partially linear instrumental variable models to account for potential endogeneity through instrumental variables. Simulation studies and an empirical analysis of the Physicochemical Properties of Protein Tertiary Structure dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our subsample estimators. © 2025 Yujing Shao, Lei Wang, Heng Lian and Haiying Wang.

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
