Aligning NLP Models with Target Population Perspectives using PAIR: Population-Aligned Instance Replication
Crowd-sourced labels don’t always reflect your target users. PAIR reweights training data so your model learns from the perspectives that matter most for your application.

Order Effects in Annotation Tasks: Further Evidence of Annotation Sensitivity
The order you show items to annotators matters. We found that changing the sequence of examples can shift labeling decisions - another reason to carefully design your annotation pipeline.

Annotation Sensitivity: Training Data Collection Methods Affect Model Performance
Small changes in how you ask annotators to label data can dramatically change your model’s behavior. We tested 5 versions of a hate speech labeling task and found significant differences in model performance.

Improving Labeling Through Social Science Insights: Preliminary Results and Research Agenda
How you design a labeling interface affects the labels you get. We show that task structure, ordering, and annotator backgrounds all shape training data quality.
