AI-assisted measurement research tackles disagreement in administrative text analysis

A new research paper explores methods for accurately measuring monetary totals from administrative texts when AI readers disagree. The study, using US tax filings, proposes dollar-weighted measurement, selective machine labeling, and budgeted human review to improve accuracy. Results indicate that a two-phase review policy can significantly reduce the root mean square error of the total compared to proportional sampling, though error control in deployment is not yet established.

    Counting Under Disagreement: Dollar-Weighted Measurement, Selective Machine Labelling and Budgeted Human Review from Disagreeing AI Readers of Administrative Text

    arXiv:2611.13215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study AI-assisted measurement when one text label applies to many administrative records, the target is a monetary total, and the human readings that anchor the machines disagree. The testbed is 121,070 grant-purpose texts from U…
