• Title: Joint Multi-Dimensional Model for Global and Time-Series Annotations
• Authors: Anil Ramakrishna, Rahul Gupta, Shrikanth Narayanan
• Abstract summary: Crowdsourcing is a popular approach to collect annotations for unlabeled data instances. It involves collecting a large number of annotations from several, often naive untrained annotators for each data instance which are then combined to estimate the ground truth. Most annotation fusion schemes however ignore this aspect and model each dimension separately. We propose a generative model for multi-dimensional annotation fusion, which models the dimensions jointly leading to more accurate ground truth estimates.

• Abstract: Crowdsourcing is a popular approach to collect annotations for unlabeled data instances. It involves collecting a large number of annotations from several, often naive untrained annotators for each data instance which are then combined to estimate the ground truth. Further, annotations for constructs such as affect are often multi-dimensional with annotators rating multiple dimensions, such as valence and arousal, for each instance. Most annotation fusion schemes however ignore this aspect and model each dimension separately. In this work we address this by proposing a generative model for multi-dimensional annotation fusion, which models the dimensions jointly leading to more accurate ground truth estimates. The model we propose is applicable to both global and time series annotation fusion problems and treats the ground truth as a latent variable distorted by the annotators. The model parameters are estimated using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and we evaluate its performance using synthetic data and real emotion corpora as well as on an artificial task with human annotations

  We introduce MT-Eval, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate multi-turn conversational abilities. By analyzing human-LLM conversations, we categorize interaction patterns into four types: recollection, expansion, refinement, and follow-up. Our evaluation of 11 well-known LLMs shows that while closed-source models generally surpass open-source ones, certain open-source models exceed GPT-3.5-Turbo in specific tasks.

  A strategy to improve label quality is to ask multiple annotators to label the same item and aggregate their labels. While a variety of bespoke models have been proposed for specific tasks, our work is the first to introduce aggregation methods that generalize across many diverse complex tasks. This article extends our prior work with investigation of three new research questions.
