Inter-Annotator Agreement

Domain: Data & Datasets

🎯 Motivation

How often different annotators agree on labels. High agreement = clear guidelines and consistent labels.

📋 Concrete Example

5 annotators label 1000 texts. Agreement: 92%. High - labels are consistent. If agreement was 60%, guidelines need improvement.

🔗 Analogy

Judges at a diving competition - if all judges give similar scores (high agreement), the scoring is consistent. Inter-annotator agreement measures labeling consistency.
