Interpretive Blindness
We model here an epistemic bias we call \textit{interpretive blindness} (IB). IB is a special problem for learning from testimony, in which one acquires information only from text or conversation. We show that IB follows from a co-dependence between background beliefs and interpretation in a Bayesian setting and the nature of contemporary testimony. We argue that a particular characteristic contemporary testimony, \textit{argumentative completeness}, can preclude learning in hierarchical Bayesian settings, even in the presence of constraints that are designed to promote good epistemic practices.

DeepBlindness: Fast Blindness Map Estimation and Blindness Type Classification for Outdoor Scene from Single Color Image
Outdoor vision robotic systems and autonomous cars suffer from many image-quality issues, particularly haze, defocus blur, and motion blur, which we will define generically as "blindness issues". These blindness issues m…
General ClassificationScenarios and Recommendations for Ethical Interpretive AI
Artificially intelligent systems, given a set of non-trivial ethical rules to follow, will inevitably be faced with scenarios which call into question the scope of those rules. In such cases, human reasoners typically wi…
Resolving Open-textured Rules with Templated Interpretive Arguments
Open-textured terms in written rules are typically settled through interpretive argumentation. Ongoing work has attempted to catalogue the schemes used in such interpretive argumentation. But how can the use of these sch…
