Abstract
The Audio-Visual Committee held two meetings. The first meeting was on the theme of Visualizing sound recordings, opening with a presentation by Roger Flury (Alexander Turnbull Wellington, Zealand) on Puccini. His talk, Creating a Puccini centered around his new book. The award winning Giacomo Puccini--A Discography (Scarecrow Press, 2012) was compiled in Zealand, far away from major collections, comprehensive print resources, and significant institutions. Starting his special musical interest by chance, after receiving a record player and 1 LP at a young age, Roger found that a new world had opening which triggered many questions later in life. Like how many performances were given, and soon in his professional life, a first list was formed. Roger Flury demonstrated the problems that discographers encounter in this type of work, the risks of perpetuating mis-information and compounding problems for future researchers. How difficult it was to make sure about data etc. Catalogues often don't help, if you are looking for information on the B-side of the recording! It also showed the importance of advance planning, the establishment of clear criteria, and the value of an accurate and detailed index, there are almost 10,000 entries. What professional and amateur online resources to gather both reliable and unreliable discographical information. He also shared some of the best and most unusual recordings discovered along the way. The second paper, New CD Classification at Laval University Library, was presented by Melissa Gravel (Laval University Quebec, Canada). The Laval University Library offers services to ca. 800 students and teachers on a yearly basis. The collection was in storage and didn't have a classification that could be used for circulation. The Laval University Library's new concept of service aims to improve the patron's accessibility to the collections and services. In light of this, it was decided to implement the free access model for our collection of more than 15.000 compact disks. Designed for closed shelves, the original classification scheme was sequential. The order of arrival of records in the collection was the only consideration, in order to maximize the space and to simplify the processing procedures. Obviously, that would not sit well with the free access model. We needed to implement a new classification scheme that would meet two essential objectives: 1. Allow easy browsing through logical arrangement in shelves ; 2. Allow patrons to quickly locate a record identified in the catalog with its unique call number. A literature review and a tour of the practices of the university libraries in Quebec province revealed that no existing classification addressed these needs. We had to develop our own classification scheme. Results: the new classification was available in 2011 and after trial and error, we now see an improvement of use from 11,200 to 17,700 in one year. Now that the different parts/genres in the collection are more visible, the library can also look at planning and development. The last paper of the first session, 'Visuals madrigalisms' in the Maggio drammatico: Snapshots from a Folk Music Archive, was given by Monica Boni (Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali of Reggio Emilia and Castelnovo ne' Monti--Biblioteca Armando Gentilucci, Reggio nell'Emilia). The Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali of Reggio Emilia and Castelnovo ne' Monti owns a rich collection of ethnographic and musicological interest. It includes recordings, photos, books (ca. 4000 titles) and documentary sources that have been collected over 50 years by Giorgio Vezzani, during his role as editor in chief of Il Cantastorie, a review of Folk traditions published from 1963 until 2011. He also made many field recordings. The collection of Reggio Emilia consists mostly of classical music. Ludovico Ariosto, the famous local poet, was much more involved with folk music. …

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.
