Soft-Label Training Preserves Epistemic Uncertainty
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses the concept of soft-label training in machine learning, which preserves epistemic uncertainty by treating annotation distributions as ground truth. Traditional methods often collapse diverse human judgments into single labels, leading to misalignment between model certainty and human perception. Empirical results show that soft-label training reduces KL divergence from human annotations by 32% and enhances correlation between model and annotation entropy by 61%, while maintaining accuracy comparable to hard-label training.
