用大模型识别并修正主观标注中的合理差异,提升数据质量。
Humans Hallucinate Too: Language Models Identify and Correct Subjective Annotation Errors With Label-in-a-Haystack Prompts
- 将标签放入上下文,让大模型判断其合理性
- 模型不复制标签时反而反映真实语义,可作新标签
- 适合需要高质量主观标注的数据清洗与构建
自然语言处理中复杂主观任务(如情感、道德识别)的建模极具挑战性,因人类标注存在显著差异。这些差异常源于合理的语义解读分歧,而非单纯噪声,需区分真主观与错误。本文提出基于大模型的标签验证方法:先构建一个简单的上下文学习二分类基线,评估文档-标签对的合理性;再引入Label-in-a-Haystack设置——在演示中包含查询及其标签,要求模型根据任务指令(如情感识别)重新预测标签,而非直接复制。我们发现模型未能复制参考标签的行为具有任务相关性且信息丰富。基于此,提出标签纠正框架LiaHR:当模型输出与标准标签不一致时,采用生成标签替代原标注。该方法可嵌入标注流程,提升信噪比。大量分析、人工评估及生态有效性研究验证了LiaHR的有效性。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modeling complex subjective tasks in Natural Language Processing, such as recognizing emotion and morality, is considerably challenging due to significant variation in human annotations. This variation often reflects reasonable differences in semantic interpretations rather than mere noise, necessitating methods to distinguish between legitimate subjectivity and error. We address this challenge by exploring label verification in these contexts using Large Language Models (LLMs). First, we propose a simple In-Context Learning binary filtering baseline that estimates the reasonableness of a document-label pair. We then introduce the Label-in-a-Haystack setting: the query and its label(s) are included in the demonstrations shown to LLMs, which are prompted to predict the label(s) again, while receiving task-specific instructions (e.g., emotion recognition) rather than label copying. We show how the failure to copy the label(s) to the output of the LLM are task-relevant and informative. Building on this, we propose the Label-in-a-Haystack Rectification (LiaHR) framework for subjective label correction: when the model outputs diverge from the reference gold labels, we assign the generated labels to the example instead of discarding it. This approach can be integrated into annotation pipelines to enhance signal-to-noise ratios. Comprehensive analyses, human evaluations, and ecological validity studies verify the utility of LiaHR for label correction. Code is available at https://github.com/gchochla/liahr.
