Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract When someone experiences an epistemic wrong, all else being equal, we ought to rectify the wrong. This intuition underpins the increasing interest in epistemic reparation. Epistemic reparations are intentional actions that provide epistemic goods to those who have been wronged, aimed at addressing acknowledged epistemic wrongs. While it is accepted that perpetrators have a duty to offer epistemic reparation, I argue here that the victims possess an imperfect duty to remember and recount their stories, with significant discretion. This duty is not grounded on the reparations owed to them. It is based on broader epistemic obligations, such as the duty to utilise their epistemic advantage to promote justice, etc. Arguing for this point trains our attention on the victims and their various expressions of epistemic agency under conditions of oppression.

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.
