Post Bachelor
This project focuses on using Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide annotations of evaluation data
(a.k.a., LLM as judge), and the design of an Inter-Annotator Agreement study to assess the reliability of
both human and LLM annotations. The candidate will explore assessing the indicators of a given AI-
related risk, determining how to identify them, and providing annotators with examples to annotate the
presence of various risks. The project aims to develop an annotation framework for AI risk assessment
and establish metrics for data quality in AI risk research, supporting broader work at NIST in assessing
and measuring the validity and reliability of AI-related risks in data annotation.
