New agentic pipeline optimizes annotation definitions with expert guidance

Researchers have developed Goldsmith, an agentic pipeline designed to optimize annotation definitions using a small set of expert-annotated examples. This system treats the annotation definition as a trainable text object, iteratively revising it based on an executable structured loss function. Goldsmith has demonstrated improvements over existing prompt-optimization methods and enhances downstream annotation tasks when integrated with retrieval and human review processes. AI

IMPACT This research could streamline the creation of high-quality datasets for AI model training by improving the efficiency of expert annotation.

    Goldsmith: Gold-Loss-Guided Definition Optimization with an Agentic Annotation Harness

    arXiv:2610.09489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many annotation projects begin before experts have a stable guideline or enough labels to train a task-specific model. We present Goldsmith, an agentic pipeline that turns a small gold set---expert-annotated calibration examples rep…
