Illustration: Multi-agent framework with contrastive knowledge improves LLM annotation consistency
The authors construct ANT-A, a multi-annotator benchmark spanning 7 datasets across domains and modalities, each with detailed guidelines and 5 independent human labels per instance.

The authors identified two bottlenecks in automated annotation: existing benchmarks use single labels per instance, failing to capture valid inter-annotator disagreement, and current annotation systems (single-agent or static multi-agent) struggle with complex, detailed guidelines.
