Researchers have proposed a new method called Subjectivity-Adaptive soft-Label Training (SALT) to improve the evaluation and optimization of Large Language Models (LLMs) used in social simulations. Traditional methods often rely on accuracy-based evaluations and hard labels, which are insufficient for subjective tasks where multiple responses are plausible. SALT addresses this by using a 'subjectivity coefficient' to adapt soft distributional labels based on the estimated subjectivity of the input, effectively falling back to standard training for objective tasks. To support this approach, a new benchmark called SUBJSIM has been created, comprising 19,300 contexts and 193 annotators, to enable distributional evaluation even when training data only contains single observed responses.
