Researchers have proposed a new training method called soft-label training for supervised classifiers, which utilizes the full distribution of annotator labels rather than a single majority vote. This approach is particularly beneficial for tasks with inherent ambiguity, such as natural language inference or politeness detection. Experiments across three datasets demonstrated that soft-label training matches or surpasses hard-label accuracy, significantly reduces divergence from the annotator distribution, and produces models that exhibit uncertainty mirroring human disagreement.
