Abstract
Solutions to Einstein’s equations of general relativity describe, among other things, the generation and propagation of gravitational waves. Interest in numerical relativity has been bolstered by the recent construction of gravitational wave observatories such as LIGO (the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory). This NSF-supported project consists of two observatories (near Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana) that began collecting data in September 2002. Astronomy has been revolutionized in the past by developing the ability to observe electromagnetic radiation in new wavelength regimes (e.g., by X-ray and radio telescopes). Similarly, if successful, the development of gravitational-wave observatories will surely lead to many new surprises. However, gravitational waves reaching earth are incredibly weak and have yet to be directly detected. Being able to predict the gravitational wave signature of various possible events would help interpret any data received and separate the weak signal from noise. Numerical relativity shares many features with other computational sciences involving systems of partial differential equations, such as computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and optics. Many of the techniques developed to overcome computational difficulties in these areas are relevant to solving the Einstein equations as well. However, numerical relativity has challenges and complexities

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.
