Abstract
Isabella Lucy Bird Bishop was born in Yorkshire, England in 1831, as the daughter of an Anglican minister. Her parents were both religious, and her family members were socially active and had a strong sense of social justice and love of humanity. Isabella suffered from spinal pain from childhood. In 1854 she traveled to Canada and the United States and published her first travel book, The Englishwoman in America (1856). Two more travel books followed from her 1872 trip to Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains. Her travels in Japan, Hong Kong, the Malay Peninsula and Singapore during 1878 and 1879 resulted in Unbeaten Tracks in Japan (1880) and Sketches in the Malay Peninsula (1883). In 1880, her only younger sister, Henrietta, died of illness. In 1881, she married Dr. John Bishop, who also died 5 years later, in 1886. Thereafter, she devoted herself to medical missionary work. In 1889, she traveled to Kashmir, Tibet, and India, and built hospitals in Srinagar and Amritsar in memory of her late husband and sister, respectively. In 1890, she traveled to Persia and published an account of her travels the following year. From 1894, she spent 3 years in East Asia, traveling back and forth frequently between Japan, Korea, Manchuria, and China. During this time she wrote Korea and Her Neighbours (1898) and The Yangtze Valley and Beyond (1899). A trip to Morocco in 1901, at 70 years of age, was her last. She then fell ill and died in Edinburgh in 1904 at 72 years of age.

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.
