Investigating Correlations of Inter-coder Agreement and Machine Annotation Performance for Historical Video Data
Video indexing approaches such as visual concept classification and person recognition are essential to enable fine-grained semantic search in large-scale video archives such as the historical video collection of former German Democratic Republic (GDR) maintained by the German Broadcasting Archive (DRA). Typically, a lexicon of visual concepts has to be defined for semantic search. However, the definition of visual concepts can be more or less subjective due to individually differing judgments of annotators, which may have an impact on annotation quality and subsequently training of supervised machine learning methods. In this paper, we analyze the inter-coder agreement for historical TV data of the former GDR for visual concept classification and person recognition. The inter-coder agreement is evaluated for a group of expert as well as non-expert annotators in order to determine differences in annotation homogeneity. Furthermore, correlations between visual recognition performance and inter-annotator agreement are measured. In this context, information about image quantity and agreement are used to predict average precision for concept classification. Finally, the influence of expert vs. non-expert annotations acquired in the study are used to evaluate person recognition.

Investigating the Nature of Disagreements on Mid-Scale Ratings: A Case Study on the Abstractness-Concreteness Continuum
Humans tend to strongly agree on ratings on a scale for extreme cases (e.g., a CAT is judged as very concrete), but judgements on mid-scale words exhibit more disagreement. Yet, collected rating norms are heavily exploit…
ClusteringInvestigating Rumor News Using Agreement-Aware Search
Recent years have witnessed a widespread increase of rumor news generated by humans and machines. Therefore, tools for investigating rumor news have become an urgent necessity. One useful function of such tools is to see…
ArticlesA general framework for investigating how far the decoding process in the brain can be simplified
``How is information decoded in the brain?'' is one of the most difficult and important questions in neuroscience. Whether neural correlation is important or not in decoding neural activities is of special interest. We h…
Mitigating Spurious Correlations via Disagreement Probability
Models trained with empirical risk minimization (ERM) are prone to be biased towards spurious correlations between target labels and bias attributes, which leads to poor performance on data groups lacking spurious correl…
Investigating Reasons for Disagreement in Natural Language Inference
We investigate how disagreement in natural language inference (NLI) annotation arises. We developed a taxonomy of disagreement sources with 10 categories spanning 3 high-level classes. We found that some disagreements ar…
