Abstract
Books listed below that are marked with a † have been selected for review in a future issue, and a reviewer has been assigned to each. Qualified reviewers are sought for books that are marked with an *. Readers who wish to be considered as potential reviewers should contact the book review editor, outlining their qualifications, at bookreviews@cljournal.org.Authors and publishers who wish their publications to be considered for review in Computational Linguistics should send a copy to the book review editor, Graeme Hirst, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada M5S 3G4. All books received that are relevant to computational linguistics and natural language processing will be listed, but not all can be reviewed. Technical reports (other than dissertations) and conference and workshop proceedings (other than those distributed by a major publisher) will not be listed or reviewed. Authors should be aware that some publishers will not send books for review even when instructed to do so; authors wishing to enquire as to whether their book has been received for review may contact the book review editor.Web Data ManagementSerge Abiteboul*, Ioana Manolescu*, Philippe Rigaux‡, Marie-Christine Rousset¶, and Pierre Senellart§(*INRIA Saclay, ‡Conservatoire Nationale des Arts et Métiers, ¶University of Grenoble, §Télécom ParisTech)Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012, xiv+435 pp; hardbound, ISBN 978-1-107-01243-1, $75.00Understanding Vagueness: Logical, Philosophical, and Linguistic PerspectivesPetr Cinula, Christian G.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
