An Assessment of Human vs. Model Uncertainty in Soft-Label Learning and Calibration
Researchers have developed a new method to assess the uncertainty of AI models compared to human judgment in soft-label learning. Their work disentangles the benefits of human soft-labels from the correction of mislabeled data, revealing that human soft-labels improve model calibration and promote stable convergence. The study utilized MNIST and a synthetic dataset, demonstrating that models trained with human soft-labels better mirror human uncertainty than those trained with synthetic labels. AI
