A new paper identifies the "projection problem" in stance detection, where annotators struggle to compress complex, multi-dimensional attitudes into single labels. This leads to disagreements that stem from different weighting of dimensions rather than confusion. The study found that dimensional agreement among annotators consistently exceeded standard label agreement, especially for complex targets like school closures. AI
