Andrew (Andy) Howard Reginald Cole 1924–2024
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Andy Cole (1924–2024) was a world leader in the infrared spectroscopy of small gas molecules, a field in which he had international collaborators in the UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and the United States. After studying and working overseas, he spent his career at the University of Western Australia, rising from senior lecturer (1955–7) to have a personal chair in 1969 and serve as Professor of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry and Head of Department from 1971 to 1989). He was interested in science education at all levels, and together with Don Watts and Bob Bucat published a textbook for high school students—Chemical Properties and Reactions. He received multiple awards and honours including the Leighton Medal of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute in 1984. Andy was a prominent member of the Physical Chemistry Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. He was elected a Fellow of Australian Academy of Science in 1974. A talented cricketer and hockey player in his youth, in retirement, he enjoyed golf, travelling and looking after his ten grandchildren with his wife Ursula.

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.
