The late Nobel laureate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/27\/business\/daniel-kahneman-dead.html\">Daniel Kahneman<\/a>, who was a key figure in the field of behavioral economics, argued in his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/10\/noise\">last book<\/a>\u00a0that bias is just one side of the coin. Errors in judgments can be attributed to two sources: bias and noise.<\/p>\n<p>Bias and noise both play important roles in fields such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1086\/467426\">law<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18103\/bme.v3i1.1550\">medicine<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1037\/h0027773\">financial forecasting<\/a>, where\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/acp.3941\">human judgments are central<\/a>. In our work as computer and information scientists, my colleagues and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.co.uk\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=fetkEu4AAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;sortby=pubdate\">I<\/a>\u00a0have found that noise also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41598-024-58937-4\">plays a role in AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Statistical noise<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Noise in this context means variation in how people make judgments of the same problem or situation. The problem of noise is more pervasive than initially meets the eye. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heinonline.org\/hol-cgi-bin\/get_pdf.cgi?handle=hein.journals\/jclc23&amp;section=86\">seminal work<\/a>, dating back all the way to the Great Depression, has found that different judges gave different sentences for similar cases.<\/p>\n<p>Worryingly, sentencing in court cases can depend on things such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1257\/app.20170223\">the temperature<\/a>\u00a0and whether the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1257\/app.20160390\">local football team won<\/a>. Such factors, at least in part, contribute to the perception that the justice system is not just biased but also arbitrary at times.<\/p>\n<p>Other examples: Insurance adjusters might give different estimates for similar claims, reflecting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1023\/A:1011111601406\">noise in their judgments<\/a>. Noise is likely present in all manner of contests, ranging from wine tastings to local beauty pageants to college admissions.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Noise in the data<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On the surface, it doesn\u2019t seem likely that noise could affect the performance of AI systems. After all, machines aren\u2019t affected by weather or football teams, so why would they make judgments that vary with circumstance? On the other hand, researchers know that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1259\/bjr.20230023\">bias affects AI<\/a>, because it is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/widm.1356\">reflected in the data<\/a>\u00a0that the AI is trained on.<\/p>\n<p>For the new spate of AI models like ChatGPT, the gold standard is human performance on general intelligence problems such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/the-future\/ai-common-sense\/\">common sense<\/a>. ChatGPT and its peers are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s42256-022-00478-4\">measured against human-labeled<\/a>\u00a0commonsense datasets.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, researchers and developers can ask the machine a commonsense question and compare it with human answers: \u201cIf I place a heavy rock on a paper table, will it collapse? Yes or No.\u201d If there is high agreement between the two \u2013 in the best case, perfect agreement \u2013 the machine is approaching human-level common sense, according to the test.<\/p>\n<p>So where would noise come in? The commonsense question above seems simple, and most humans would likely agree on its answer, but there are many questions where there is more disagreement or uncertainty: \u201cIs the following sentence plausible or implausible? My dog plays volleyball.\u201d In other words, there is potential for noise. It is not surprising that interesting commonsense questions would have some noise.<\/p>\n<p>But the issue is that most AI tests don\u2019t account for this noise in experiments. Intuitively, questions generating human answers that tend to agree with one another should be weighted higher than if the answers diverge \u2013 in other words, where there is noise. Researchers still don\u2019t know whether or how to weigh AI\u2019s answers in that situation, but a first step is acknowledging that the problem exists.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tracking down noise in the machine<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Theory aside, the question still remains whether all of the above is hypothetical or if in real tests of common sense there is noise. The best way to prove or disprove the presence of noise is to take an existing test, remove the answers and get multiple people to independently label them, meaning provide answers. By measuring disagreement among humans, researchers can know just how much noise is in the test.<\/p>\n<p>The details behind measuring this disagreement are complex, involving significant statistics and math. Besides, who is to say how common sense should be defined? How do you know the human judges are motivated enough to think through the question? These issues lie at the intersection of good experimental design and statistics. Robustness is key: One result, test or set of human labelers is unlikely to convince anyone. As a pragmatic matter, human labor is expensive. Perhaps for this reason, there haven\u2019t been any studies of possible noise in AI tests.<\/p>\n<p>To address this gap, my colleagues and I designed such a study and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41598-024-58937-4\">published our findings<\/a>\u00a0in Nature Scientific Reports, showing that even in the domain of common sense, noise is inevitable. Because the setting in which judgments are elicited can matter, we did two kinds of studies. One type of study involved paid workers from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mturk.com\/\">Amazon Mechanical Turk<\/a>, while the other study involved a smaller-scale labeling exercise in two labs at the University of Southern California and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.<\/p>\n<p>You can think of the former as a more realistic online setting, mirroring how many AI tests are actually labeled before being released for training and evaluation. The latter is more of an extreme, guaranteeing high quality but at much smaller scales. The question we set out to answer was how inevitable is noise, and is it just a matter of quality control?<\/p>\n<p>The results were sobering. In both settings, even on commonsense questions that might have been expected to elicit high \u2013 even universal \u2013 agreement, we found a nontrivial degree of noise. The noise was high enough that we inferred that between 4% and 10% of a system\u2019s performance could be attributed to noise.<\/p>\n<p>To emphasize what this means, suppose I built an AI system that achieved 85% on a test, and you built an AI system that achieved 91%. Your system would seem to be a lot better than mine. But if there is noise in the human labels that were used to score the answers, then we\u2019re not sure anymore that the 6% improvement means much. For all we know, there may be no real improvement.<\/p>\n<p>On AI leaderboards, where large language models like the one that powers ChatGPT are compared, performance differences between rival systems are far narrower, typically less than 1%. As we show in the paper, ordinary statistics do not really come to the rescue for disentangling the effects of noise from those of true performance improvements.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Noise audits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>What is the way forward? Returning to Kahneman\u2019s book, he proposed the concept of a \u201cnoise audit\u201d for quantifying and ultimately mitigating noise as much as possible. At the very least, AI researchers need to estimate what influence noise might be having.<\/p>\n<p>Auditing AI systems for bias is somewhat commonplace, so we believe that the concept of a noise audit should naturally follow. We hope that this study, as well as others like it, leads to their adoption.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Mayank Kejriwal is Research Assistant Professor of Industrial &#038; Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people understand the concept of bias at some intuitive level.
