In this paper, researchers introduce Prediction-powered Inference (PPI), a method that enhances statistical estimates using limited human-labeled data. By combining small amounts of human-labeled data with larger amounts of automatically labeled data, PPI provides tighter confidence intervals. The authors propose a Bayesian inference-based framework for developing new task-appropriate PPI methods and demonstrate improved PPI methods for autoraters providing discrete responses and those with non-linear score relationships.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper introduces a way to make predictions better by combining small amounts of human-labeled data with lots of automatically labeled data. The method, called Prediction-powered Inference (PPI), helps us get more accurate results. The authors created a framework for PPI that makes it easy to develop new methods and tested them on different kinds of rating tasks.
