New methods quantify agreement for unstructured biomedical text annotations

Researchers have developed new methods to quantify agreement among annotators who provide unstructured text labels for biomedical data. These methods address the challenge of measuring inter-rater reliability when labels are open-ended and their semantic equivalence is difficult to assess. The study explores various semantic equivalence measures, including embeddings and natural language inference, to find a balance between scalability and accuracy in estimating agreement. AI

    Consensus Measures for Unstructured Biomedical Text Annotations

    arXiv:2608.03529v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biomedical literature is increasingly mined for knowledge beyond the questions it was written to answer. Because the target concepts are not known in advance, annotators prefer open-ended labels, whose agreement is hard to quantify.…
