| Challenge: | Using crowdsourcing, it is difficult to obtain high-quality annotations for difficult tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a recruitment pipeline to recruit high-quality Amazon Mechanical Turk workers . they filter out subpar workers before they carry out the evaluations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can filter out subpar workers before they carry out evaluations and obtain high-agreement annotations with similar constraints on resources. |

| Challenge: | a human written summary content unit (SCU) is used to judge the quality of a summary . a pyramid evaluation method is based on SCUs that decompose a reference summary into concise sentences . |
| Approach: | They propose to use automated SCUs to evaluate the quality of a candidate summary . they propose to generate SCU approximations from AMR meaning representations and large language models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be fully automated, but lacks the human effort to validate it. |

| Challenge: | High agreement is often used to show reliability of annotation procedures, but it is insufficient to ensure or reproducibility. |
| Approach: | They propose a protocol that increases Inter-Annotator Agreement among annotators and a standardized and codified protocol that strictly enforces transparency in the annotation process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed protocol ensures transparency in the annotation process, which ensures reproducibility of annotation guidelines. |
