Abstract
On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago!Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference.This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile.You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away.Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy.I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies.This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation.With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.To assist you further in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app.Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.With this app you can also take notes during panels, interact with other attendees via social media, and navigate the hotel and the surrounding areas in downtown Chicago through in-app maps.I hope you'll check it out!I know that you will find more information about the big evening events elsewhere in the program and in Pam Wojcik's welcome letter, so let me call your attention to several other events organized by the Board of Directors for the membership.On Thursday from 11:00 am until 12:15 pm is the Caucus/SIG Open House.Please stop by for some edibles and beverages and an opportunity to meet your officers and Board members as well as representatives of the SIGs and caucuses.This is a wonderful opportunity for you to find out more about the work of the organization overall, to speak with representatives from groups that reflect your academic interests, and to learn about the numerous activities these groups have scheduled during the conference.Everyone is encouraged to attend, whether you are a new SCMS member or are an old hand.On Thursday evening at 7:00 pm the GSO holds its reception, and all graduate student members are invited for some libation and conversation.Other important SCMS events to put on your calendar take place on Friday.First up is the Members' Business Meeting at 11:00 am where you will learn about the Society's activities this past year.Later in the day the Awards Ceremony starts at 4:15 pm in the Fairmont.Here we will pay tribute to some of the best scholarship that appeared during the previous year.At the ceremony we will also honor and hear from the winner of this year's Distinguished Career Award, Michele Hilmes.Following the ceremony, the official conference reception begins at 5:45 pm in the Mid-America Club on the 80th floor of the AON Center adjacent to the Fairmont.Here, over a drink and something to eat, you will have a chance to mingle with colleagues, catch up with old friends, make new acquaintances, and congratulate the winners.I hope everyone will attend the reception in the AON Center and enjoy the distinctive panoramic view of Chicago that the Mid-America Club offers from the center's 80th floor.We also have many panels scheduled for the AON Center during each day.Because the center requires an ID check, let me remind you all to keep your conference badges handy since-though you will reach the center via a short walkway from inside the hotel-you will need a badge to enter there for the reception and panels.Finally, a conference of this size is never possible without the help of many people, so I must single out and thank names you will hear again during the week: Leslie LeMond, Conference Manager; Molly Youngblood, Program Coordinator; Aviva Dove-Viebahn, Web

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.
