arXiv:2606. 05376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many human-centered tasks, including natural language inference (NLI) and emotion recognition (ER), have multiple plausible interpretations, leading to label ambiguity and challenging disagreements across human annotators.

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.

Neural language models trained on large crowdsourced corpora frequently exploit spurious surface patterns tied to target labels without true linguistic or causal relevance, boosting benchmark performance while failing on adversarial or out-of-distribution inputs. Existing approaches either require manual specification of the feature vocabulary or automate discovery only partially, leaving the gap between dataset-level correlation and model-level exploitation unaddressed.

Calpric is a system that combines automatic text selection, segmentation, active learning, and crowdsourced annotation to create a large, balanced training set for privacy policy classification. By simplifying the labeling task, it enables untrained crowd workers to match the performance of trained annotators and reduces inter‑annotator disagreement, cutting labeling costs. The approach yields a dataset of 16,000 policy text segments across nine data categories and produces models that deliver accurate, fine‑grained labels at a cost of roughly $0.92–$1.71 per segment.
