LLMs achieve up to 78.8% accuracy and r=0.590 correlation mimicking individual SOEP respondents using cumulative microdata, with gains from more information but diminishing returns past the 75% entropy point.

Demographic-conditioned fusion embeddings improve prediction of perspectivist social meaning interpretations by 5.9-6.5% relative macro PR-AUC over text-only baselines, with ablations confirming demographic signal.
New Ghost Annotator framework uses conformal prediction to show LLMs of different sizes and families produce labels no human annotator chose and align least with 18-30 male Sub-Saharan African annotators across content moderation datasets.
Large-scale statistical analysis of four harmful language datasets reveals that interactions between annotator characteristics and linguistic cues drive annotation variation, with lexical features and attitudes prominent but patterns varying by dataset.
Extending language models with annotator-specific layers improves individual moral annotation predictions and reveals perspective variations hidden by label aggregation.
Cultural zones explain variance in safety ratings beyond demographics across six datasets, with roughly 10% of items identified as culturally sensitive.
A literature review concludes that pursuing consensus in data annotation creates biased AI by dismissing subjective disagreements and enforcing geographic hegemony, and proposes mapping diversity instead.
