arXiv:2607. 08103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rank estimation under label noise poses a fundamental challenge, as ordinal annotations often exhibit structured uncertainty rather than simple label corruption.

We propose contrastive order learning (ConOrd), a contrastive learning framework for ordinal regression that integrates the strengths of contrastive learning and order learning. While contrastive learning effectively leverages all samples in a batch, it typically ignores the inherent ordering among rank labels.
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.

Post-training large language models (LLMs) without real-world interaction feedback or human-labeled supervision remains challenging, particularly in specialized domains where expert annotations are costly to obtain. Recent annotation-free self-evolution methods address this by using the model's own outputs as supervision signals, constructing a teacher via additional context and aggregating predictions across multiple rollouts through majority voting to produce pseudo-labels.

arXiv:2608. 04652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image mixup is a widely adopted data augmentation strategy, yet it is ill-suited for ordinal classification tasks such as medical disease grading, where labels encode a progression of severity.

arXiv:2606. 00424v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models become stronger, weak supervisors may fail to provide reliable labels, preferences, or final judgments for complex outputs, limiting both weak-to-strong generalization and scalable oversight.
