Double Triangle Annotation: A Scalable Human-in-the-Loop Framework for High-Precision Historical Document Annotation

arXiv:2605.25781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating structured-information extraction from historical documents at scale requires high-precision ground-truth annotations, yet traditional manual labeling is expensive and fully automated pipelines built on large language models are prone to hallucination. We propose Double Triangle Annotation, a two-layer human-in-the-loop framework that leverages cross-model consensus to automate the majority of annotation work while ensuring high-precision outputs. In the first layer, two architecturally independent Multimodal Large Language Models anno
This development addresses the critical and immediate need for scalable, high-precision data annotation methods, which is a significant bottleneck for AI development across various domains, especially with the increasing volume of unstructured data.
High-precision data annotation is fundamental for the performance and reliability of AI systems, and this framework offers a scalable solution to a long-standing challenge, impacting the efficiency and cost of AI model development.
The adoption of such human-in-the-loop frameworks will significantly reduce the cost and time associated with creating high-quality datasets for AI, enabling faster iteration and deployment of more accurate models, particularly in complex domains like historical document analysis.
