Distributions In, Distributions Out: The Case for Soft-Label Training

arXiv:2511. 14117v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Supervised classifiers output a distribution over classes but are typically trained against a single label obtained by collapsing multiple annotators into a majority vote.

A Model for Imbalanced Label Aggregation: A Focus on Minority-Class Detection

arXiv:2607. 24622v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study imbalanced crowdsourcing with a focus on class-dependent annotator accuracy, a setting that, to the best of our knowledge, remains relatively underexplored despite its importance in real-world inspection systems where the labels of greatest operational importance are also the rarest ones.

A Model for Imbalanced Label Aggregation: A Focus on Minority-Class Detection

We study imbalanced crowdsourcing with a focus on class-dependent annotator accuracy, a setting that, to the best of our knowledge, remains relatively underexplored despite its importance in real-world inspection systems where the labels of greatest operational importance are also the rarest ones. In this setting, annotators may be reliable on both classes, unreliable on both classes, majority-class specialists, or minority-class specialists.
