Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ventriloquism is the phenomenon by which an actor makes another actor speak or say something through the production of a given utterance, turn of talk, or conduct. In the common understanding of the word, ventriloquism is a performance by which a person (called the ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice in such a way that it appears to come from somewhere else. Also called the art of “making voices” or “throwing one's voice,” it can be traced back to ancient Greece, where the ventriloquists were then called engastrimanteis or belly prophets and considered oracles. In its modern version, this type of performance has become a popular form of stagecraft where the ventriloquist manipulates a dummy in such a manner that it appears to be speaking by itself, having a conversation with the ventriloquist or speaking to the audience.

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.
