Abstract
Early in 2009 I got a call from Greg Partyka informing me of my selection as the 2009 SEG Honorary Lecturer for North America. I felt extremely honored, even surprised in having been selected, but then some trepidation started to set in about what I had got myself into and if I was up to the task. However, over the following months my colleague Dave Mackidd, through a feeling of justifiable responsibility after having nominated me, helped put together my lecture with the somewhat intriguing title “The magic of Lamé.” By the time I was ready to start the tour, I had gathered examples from nearly 15 years of applying AVO inversion methods to E&P drilling challenges. Given the resulting length of the lecture, I must apologize to some of my audience who could be forgiven for thinking that the material had been accumulating since Gabriel Lamé's original lectures in eighteenth century Paris!

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
