| Challenge: | aggregating raw annotations to a single label is problematic due to disagreement among annotators. |
| Approach: | They propose a generic method that allows one to skip the aggregation step and train on the raw annotations directly without subjecting the model to unwanted noise. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves performance over models that do not incorporate such effects. |
