arXiv:2606.05376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many human-centered tasks, including natural language inference (NLI) and emotion recognition (ER), have multiple plausible interpretations, leading to label ambiguity and challenging disagreements across human annotators. As LLMs are increasingly deployed in real-world settings, faithfully modeling such ambiguity is essential to identify contested inputs, preserve variability in ambiguous cases, and capture the full distribution of human judgments. Yet, existing LLM alignment approaches have predominantly assumed a single correct label, excludin
The increasing deployment of LLMs in real-world, human-centered applications necessitates more sophisticated alignment techniques to handle the inherent ambiguities of human judgment. This research addresses a critical limitation in current LLM development as the technology matures.
This development is crucial for ensuring LLMs can faithfully represent and navigate the complexities of human values and interpretations, particularly for high-stakes decisions and nuanced interactions. It moves towards more robust and trustworthy AI systems.
Existing LLM alignment paradigms, which often assume a single correct label, will need to evolve to incorporate ambiguity-aware methods, leading to more nuanced and contextually appropriate AI responses. This changes how LLMs are trained and evaluated.

LLMs will become more adept at acknowledging and modeling the variability in human judgments, leading to more reliable and context-sensitive interactions.
This improved understanding of human ambiguity could lead to new types of human-AI collaboration where AI acts as a sophisticated mediator of diverse perspectives.
The ability of AI to explicitly model and manage uncertainty in human-centric data might accelerate adoption in highly sensitive sectors, potentially impacting regulatory frameworks.
