Abstract
Editorial Roxanne Harde, Editor (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution © Jan Pieńkowski Dear Bookbird Readers, I am pleased to present Bookbird 51.1, the first of 2013’s two guest-edited, themed issues of IBBY’s journal. This year, IBBY celebrates its 60th Anniversary. This organization of more than 70 national sections all over the world has come a long way since its remarkable founder, Jella Lepman (1891–1970), invited delegates to Munich to attend International Understanding through Children’s Books, the meeting that eventually led to IBBY’s foundation in October 1953. This issue of Bookbird has been prepared in collaboration with another well-established organization: the Commonwealth Educational Trust (CET), which shares many of the same goals as IBBY. Like IBBY, the CET is an international organization of people who are committed to increasing the opportunities for children to develop the critical thinking, empathy, and cultural literacy essential for a child to thrive in today’s societies. By bringing books and children together, both organizations aim to promote international understanding and responsible citizenship. The expertise and energy guest editors Alice Curry and Lydia Kokkola have brought to this issue, and Bettina Kuemmerling-Meibauer is bringing to the Multicultural issue (Summer 2013), ensure these issues will resonate with the journal’s international audience. And their collective and individual work on and for children’s literature has had me thinking about all the members of our global community who work with children and their books. Like A River of Stories collected by Alice for the CET, Bookbird brings together people with diverse backgrounds, from disparate cultures, and a variety of disciplines. I hope you enjoy this issue which, thanks to Alice and Lydia, brings together work from across the Commonwealth, from people who dedicate their effort and talent to this discipline and its audience.

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.
