Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Les recensements coloniaux de l’Inde étaient de colossales tentatives visant à dénombrer les castes en fonction d’une taxonomie hybride amalgamant les connaissances locales aux préconceptions et aux idées fausses venues d’Europe. À partir de 1871, les administrateurs de la colonie résolurent de catégoriser et de compter les castes indiennes, mais ils éprouvèrent de nombreuses difficultés à les classifier, à les dénombrer et à compiler les données à leur sujet. Durant les années 1890, on commença à faire le recensement administratif de l’Inde coloniale en empruntant des outils anthropométriques et ethnologiques à l’anthropologie « scientifique ». L’introduction de ces mesures dans le bulletin de recensement et leur emploi durant le dénombrement donnèrent à la notion de caste une connotation biologique et raciale. Pourtant, cette vision biologique de la caste ne s’est jamais véritablement imposée et fut contestée par les administrateurs coloniaux et les activistes politiques indiens qui ne croyaient pas à l’anthropométrie. En exposant en détail les complications de recenser l’Inde coloniale, les auteurs montrent que les problèmes épistémologiques entourant la façon d’envisager et de dénombrer les castes étaient la règle plutôt que l’exception.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
