针对视觉问答中人类标注不确定性,提出新方法提升模型准确率与校准性。

Human Uncertainty-Aware Data Selection and Automatic Labeling in Visual Question Answering

  • 基于人类标注不确定性动态筛选数据并自动标注,减少对人工标注依赖。
  • 在VQAv2和VizWiz上用5%种子数据训练,性能优于主流方法。
  • 发现高不确定性样本会损害模型性能,需显式建模以提升校准性。

大型视觉语言模型(VLM)在视觉问答任务中表现优异,但仍严重依赖大规模标注数据进行有监督微调(SFT),而人工标注成本高昂。现实数据常存在人类标注不确定性(HU)——不同标注者对同一问题信心不一,但传统SFT仅优化最常见标签,忽略HU分布。本文系统评估了不同HU水平对VLM的影响,发现:(i) 高HU样本对模型性能贡献甚微甚至有害;(ii) 直接使用全量数据训练会导致模型校准不足,无法捕捉不确定性。为此,提出HaDola框架,分四阶段迭代识别有害样本、优先选择信息丰富样本,并从5%小种子集开始自举训练。实验表明,该方法显著降低对昂贵标注的依赖,在VQAv2和VizWiz数据集上以更少数据达到或超越现有最佳结果。研究强调,显式建模人类不确定性比单纯扩大数据规模更有效。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance in Visual Question Answering but still rely heavily on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with massive labeled datasets, which is costly due to human annotations. Crucially, real-world datasets often exhibit human uncertainty (HU) -- variation in human confidence across annotations -- but standard SFT simply optimizes toward the most frequent label, disregarding HU distributions. This leaves two open questions: How does HU affect SFT, and how can HU be effectively leveraged in training? In this work, we first conduct a systematic evaluation of VLMs across varying HU levels. We have two key findings: (i) surprisingly, high-HU samples contribute little or even degrade model performance, and (ii) naively training on the full dataset yields under-calibrated models that fail to capture HU distributions. Motivated by these findings, we introduce HaDola, a human uncertainty-aware data selection and automatic labeling framework. HaDola operates in four stages -- discriminate, self-annotate, error trigger, and training -- to iteratively identify harmful samples, prioritize informative ones, and bootstrap from a small seed set (5\% of data). Our approach substantially reduces reliance on costly HU annotations and makes VLMs more accurate and better calibrated. Extensive experiments on VQAv2 and VizWiz datasets demonstrate that HaDola consistently matches or outperforms state-of-the-art baselines with less training data. Our work highlights the importance of explicitly modeling HU in SFT, suggesting that better utilization of HU is more effective than merely scaling up dataset size.
