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.

The paper introduces the Conformal Relevance framework, which employs in-context learning example curation and ensembling to generate a score function that preserves coverage while enhancing conciseness for NLP tasks such as summarization and extractive question answering. Unlike previous methods that rely on labor-intensive, task‑specific prompt engineering, this approach requires minimal manual input. The authors validate the framework across seven NLP tasks and provide a theoretical analysis of how diversity in ensembled conformal scores can improve worst‑case sentence scores, including a saturation bound on ensemble gains.

LLM-based social simulation is a promising complement to traditional methods such as surveys and behavioral experiments. A core question is how to evaluate the fidelity of LLM-simulated human behavior...
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.

The paper introduces NAPHA, a lightweight post‑hoc alignment method that improves large language model (LLM) predictions of human judgment distributions (HJD) by matching LLM output distributions to HJD through entropy‑based class assignment and specialized alignment models. Experiments on five datasets show that while LLMs perform near human‑level on hard‑label tasks, they struggle with soft‑label predictions, and NAPHA consistently enhances soft‑label accuracy, especially on high‑entropy instances. The study also demonstrates that better entropy class prediction can further boost NAPHA’s effectiveness.

arXiv:2605. 02122v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human evaluation remains the primary standard for assessing modern AI systems, yet annotator disagreement, bias, and variability make system rankings fragile under standard majority vote aggregation.

arXiv:2607. 18465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Crowdsourced labeling provides valuable labeled data for domains across natural language processing, computer vision, and video.

Crowdsourced labeling provides valuable labeled data for domains across natural language processing, computer vision, and video. Label aggregation aims to infer latent true labels from noisy and biased annotations, with the key lying in annotator reliability estimation.
