Hi!

I think it means how the AP changes if you "fix" that type of error.

From the paper:

[...] for each error we need to define a corresponding “oracle” that fixes that error. For instance, if an oracle o ∈ O described how to change some false positives into true positives, we could call the AP computed after applying the oracle as APo and then compare that to the vanilla AP to obtain that oracle’s (and corresponding error’s) effecton performance.
