Researchers have developed a method for efficiently acquiring counterfactual annotations from multiple sources to improve off-policy evaluation (OPE) in contextual-bandit scenarios. The approach addresses the challenge of costly, biased, or noisy annotations from sources like domain experts and large language models. By formulating an integer allocation problem, the method optimizes the acquisition of annotations to minimize estimator variance, demonstrating significant reductions in mean squared error in synthetic clinical and education bandit experiments.
