Sparse Probability of Agreement (2208.06161v2)
Published 12 Aug 2022 in cs.CL
Abstract: Measuring inter-annotator agreement is important for annotation tasks, but many metrics require a fully-annotated set of data, where all annotators annotate all samples. We define Sparse Probability of Agreement, SPA, which estimates the probability of agreement when not all annotator-item-pairs are available. We show that under certain conditions, SPA is an unbiased estimator, and we provide multiple weighing schemes for handling data with various degrees of annotation.
