Abstract
Ed Cherney and I were appointed Co- Editors-in-Chief of this Magazine with effect 1 January 2008. In mid-January we met with the outgoing Editor-in-Chief John Densley, at his home outside Toronto, and were instructed on many important aspects of the job, at the nuts-and-bolts level. I co-edited the May/June issue with John, Ed did likewise for the July/August issue, and thereafter we went solo, editing alternate issues. The appointment of two Co-Editors-in-Chief, rather than one Editor-in-Chief, was one of the concerns raised during the 2012 IEEE Periodicals Review and Advisory Committee (PRAC) five-yearly review of the Magazine, specifically that such an arrangement would lead to substantial duplication of editorial effort. We convinced the committee that this is not the case and that the arrangement offers the advantage of helping to ensure continuity of publication should one of the Co-Editors become incapacitated.

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.
