  • 结合置信区间与协同过滤思想,建模大模型与人工标注者的关系
  • 发现模型越大的越自信,尤其在无人支持的文本上
  • 揭示模型在不同社会人口学维度存在结构性偏差

当前研究多关注模型性能,较少关注不确定性估计,尤其在大模型生成标注数据的场景下。本文提出一种融合置信区间与协同过滤风格标注者表征的框架,用于建模大模型与人类标注者的行为关系,并分析其一致与分歧模式。通过非一致性评分,引入‘幽灵预测’指标和‘幽灵标注者’表征,量化模型预测偏离所有人类标注的情况。计算余弦相似度,探究模型行为在社会人口学维度上的差异。我们在四个内容审核数据集上评估了四种不同规模和家族的大模型。结果显示,尽管所有模型的不确定性随标注者分歧增加而上升,但更大的模型在无人支持的文本分类上表现出更高自信。最终,幽灵标注者框架揭示出一致且稳健的人口学错配模式,表明这种偏差可能源于预训练语料库的结构性偏见。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current research primarily focuses on model performance, while comparatively less attention has been devoted to uncertainty estimation, particularly in settings where LLMs are increasingly used to generate annotated data. We introduce a framework combining conformal prediction with Collaborative Filtering-style annotators' representation to model LLM behavior in relation to human annotators and to analyze patterns of agreement and disagreement. Using Non-Conformity Scores, we introduce the Ghost Prediction metric and the Ghost Annotator representation to quantify cases in which model predictions diverge from all available human annotations. We compute cosine similarity measures to explore differences in model behavior across sociodemographic axes. We evaluated four LLMs of different size and families across four content moderation datasets. Our finding shows that while we find that all models uncertainty increases with annotator disagreement, larger models tend to be more confident in the classification of texts that are not aligned with any human annotation. Finally, the Ghost Annotator framework reveals a consistent and robust pattern of demographic misalignment, suggesting a structural bias likely rooted in pretraining corpora.
