Abstract
Roland K. “Pom” Pomeroy, 77, died Jan. 4, 2023, in Burnaby, British Columbia. “Pom was passionate about teaching chemistry. As noted in his university Excellence in Teaching Award citation, his enthusiasm in the classroom was infectious. That same passion and enthusiasm extended to his research. New osmium compound discoveries were rarely achieved without the contribution of Pom’s keen intuition. He was not one to leave stones unturned, often getting manuscripts returned with few, or no, corrections from the referees. Pom was strongly committed to justice, filled with empathy for those who struggled, a seminal mentor, and, mostly, a friend who will be missed. Always look on the bright side of life, mate!”—Harry Davis, former student Most recent title: Professor emeritus, Simon Fraser University Education: BS, chemistry, Imperial College London, 1967; PhD, chemistry, University of Alberta, 1971 Survivors: Son, Ken; daughter, Elizabeth To recognize your late loved one or colleague, submit

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
