Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to annotate datasets for training smaller, task‑specialized models such as named entity recognition (NER). However, current fine‑tuning processes ignore the annotation noise introduced by LLMs, leading to degraded performance, and existing noise‑robust losses fail to handle the heterogeneous nature of NER noise (e.g., missing mentions vs. type errors). The authors propose error‑type‑aware loss reweighting, which applies separate reweighting rules for different erroneous token types, improving F1 scores by 0.8–2.0 percentage points on average and up to 4.6 points on Wikigold at 24.1% noise.

The paper demonstrates that object detection benchmarks suffer from incomplete annotations, with re-annotation of COCO, Pascal VOC, Cityscapes, and KITTI revealing up to a 60% increase in detected objects, especially small, occluded, or densely packed instances. The authors propose a scalable annotation pipeline that uses multiple annotators per object to capture uncertainty and improve recall, and they introduce two new large-scale benchmarks: an uncertainty-aware detection benchmark and a label error detection benchmark based on real errors. Their findings show that benchmark performance is highly sensitive to annotation quality, yet model rankings remain largely unchanged, highlighting the need for uncertainty-aware evaluation to better reflect real-world ambiguity.
