World Book Night 2024 United Artists 'In Praise of Birds':Flaubert's Parrot
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For World Book Night 2024 – In Praise of Birds, WBN United Artists invited participation through reading and responding to a text or book about birds and sending us a postcard about it. 200+ artists responded to our call, with 250+ postcards winging their way to UWE from: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, UK and USA. We are sharing the postcards in two exhibitions, a physical one here at Bower Ashton Library, UWE Bristol, UK, 19th April – 30th June 2024, and printout posters featuring all the postcards at the Learning Resources Centre, Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), 1st September – 31st October 2024. Alongside the main exhibition is a display of 72 postcards made by students at HKDI. After the exhibition in Bristol, physical postcards will be swapped and sent out to participating artists with an extra gift from WBN2024 of commissioned postcards designed by rubber stamp king Stephen Fowler.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
