Abstract
Welcome to SOFM 2006, the fourteenth installment of NIST's biennial symposium dealing with photonic and optical fiber measurements.In the Fall of 1980, Jimmy Carter was the U.S. President and disco dancing was just past its peak.TV remote controls were just becoming commonplace.Cable, for those lucky few who had it, meant a dozen or so channels-when it was working.The PC was still a couple of years away, while cell phones and the internet were more than a decade away from becoming part of the common vernacular.The prefix "giga" was, at most, a rarely used curiosity, even among scientists, and was virtually unknown to the general public.At this same time the fiberoptic industry was young and in critical need of metrology development.The National Bureau of Standards (NIST's precursor) speculated that maybe a conference devoted to fiber measurements could be of some utility to this developing industry.It is unlikely that any of the organizers or attendees of that first SOFM could have envisioned this utility to span 26 years!During these years the photonic industry has been through its share of ups and downs, including the exhilarating highs and lows of the last six or so years.As the fiberoptic industry now seems to have reached a certain level of maturity, the demand for cutting- edge metrology-related research relating to fimdamental fiber measurements-the traditional core focus area for SOFM-seems to be leveling off This is in no way meant, however, to imply that our work as metrologists is done.Rather, crucial metrology needs are now springing up from a wider variety of other related or derived fields of optoelectronics.This is evidenced in the SOFM 2006 technical program, which is as diverse as any in SOFM history, including sessions on fiber sensors, dispersion metrology, power-related metrology, "last-mile" issues, spectroscopic and frequency metrology, systems metrology, and specialty fibers.This diversity is what inspired us to conclude this year's symposium with a "roadmapping" workshop on emerging and anticipated photonic metrology needs.SOFM remains geographically diverse as well, with just over 60 % of this year's accepted papers originating outside the U.S. It has been a thrilling ride, and we are sincerely glad that you have decided to join us for this iteration.Please enjoy your visit, including SOFM 2006, itself, and all that our Rocky Mountain area has to offer.

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
