James Kay Graham Watson. 20 April 1936—18 December 2020
Bibliographic record
Abstract
J. K. G. (Jim) Watson was a world-leading authority on the basic theory of molecular rotation and vibration, especially renowned for his simplification of the rotational and rotation–vibration Hamiltonians (energy expressions). Other significant scientific achievements include the treatment of ‘forbidden’ rotational transitions in symmetric molecules and analysis of the spectrum of the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">H</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math> molecular ion, both of which have important astrophysical implications. Jim was a reticent individual who carried out much of his most important research solo, while at the same time he had a wide circle of collaborators who were often experimentalists seeking theoretical guidance. Although his most profound contributions were highly mathematical, he always endeavoured to present the ultimate results in a widely useful form.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
