New framework combines human judgment and AI scores for better assessments

Researchers have introduced Aggregate-then-Calibrate (AtC), a novel two-stage framework designed to improve human-centered assessment tasks. This method combines heterogeneous human judgments, accounting for annotator reliability, with model-generated scores. AtC theoretically demonstrates that modeling annotator heterogeneity leads to more efficient consensus estimation and that its isotonic calibration offers risk bounds even with misspecified consensus rankings. Empirical results show AtC consistently enhances accuracy and robustness compared to assessments relying solely on human or model inputs. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the reliability and accuracy of AI-assisted decision-making processes in fields requiring human judgment.

    Aggregate-then-Calibrate for Human-centered Assessment with Theoretical Guarantees

    arXiv:2608.02455v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human-centered assessment tasks, which are essential for systematic decision-making, rely heavily on human judgment and typically lack verifiable ground truth. Existing approaches face a dilemma: methods using only human judgments…
