D3CODE: Disentangling Disagreements in Data across Cultures on Offensiveness Detection and Evaluation

Aida Mostafazadeh Davani, Mark Díaz, Dylan Baker +1

While human annotations play a crucial role in language technologies, annotator subjectivity has long been overlooked in data collection. Recent studies that have critically examin…

Disentangling Perceptions of Offensiveness: Cultural and Moral Correlates

Aida Davani, Mark Díaz, Dylan Baker +1

Perception of offensiveness is inherently subjective, shaped by the lived experiences and socio-cultural values of the perceivers. Recent years have seen substantial efforts to bui…

Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about funda…

Dealing with Disagreements: Looking Beyond the Majority Vote in Subjective Annotations

Aida Mostafazadeh Davani, Mark Díaz, Vinodkumar Prabhakaran

Majority voting and averaging are common approaches employed to resolve annotator disagreements and derive single ground truth labels from multiple annotations. However, annotators…

On Releasing Annotator-Level Labels and Information in Datasets

Vinodkumar Prabhakaran, Aida Mostafazadeh Davani, Mark Díaz

A common practice in building NLP datasets, especially using crowd-sourced annotations, involves obtaining multiple annotator judgements on the same data instances, which are then…
