The pith

EXPONA generates label functions by exploring surface, structural, and semantic levels while applying reliability-aware filtering.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper introduces EXPONA, a framework that treats label function generation as a structured process to automate data annotation for machine learning. It explores heuristics from surface patterns, structural relations, and semantic meanings to increase the number of covered examples. Reliability mechanisms then suppress noisy or duplicate functions to keep the signals useful. Tests on eleven classification datasets show higher coverage, better label quality, and stronger final model results than prior automated methods. This approach matters if it can lower the cost and error rates of building training data without heavy manual effort.

Core claim

EXPONA formulates LF generation as a principled process balancing diversity and reliability by systematically exploring multi-level LFs spanning surface, structural, and semantic perspectives and applying reliability-aware mechanisms to suppress noisy or redundant heuristics while preserving complementary signals, which produces nearly complete label coverage up to 98.9 percent, improved weak label quality by up to 87 percent, and downstream performance gains of up to 46 percent in weighted F1 across eleven datasets.

What carries the argument

The EXPONA framework that explores label functions at surface, structural, and semantic levels combined with reliability-aware filtering to suppress noisy heuristics.

Load-bearing premise

Exploring label functions at surface, structural, and semantic levels together with reliability-aware filtering will produce complementary signals without introducing new biases or missing important domain-specific patterns.

What would settle it

A controlled experiment on a held-out dataset where EXPONA produces lower coverage or weaker downstream models than the best existing automated label function method would settle whether the central claim holds.

High-quality labeled data is critical for training reliable machine learning and deep learning models, yet manual annotation remains costly and error-prone. Programmatic labeling addresses this challenge by using label functions (LFs), i.e., heuristic rules that automatically generate weak labels for training datasets. However, existing automated LF generation methods either rely on large language models (LLMs) to synthesize surface-level heuristics or employ model-based synthesis over hand-crafted primitives. These approaches often result in limited coverage and unreliable label quality. In this paper, we introduce EXPONA, an automated framework for programmatic labeling that formulates LF generation as a principled process balancing diversity and reliability. EXPONA systematically explores multi-level LFs, spanning surface, structural, and semantic perspectives. EXPONA further applies reliability-aware mechanisms to suppress noisy or redundant heuristics while preserving complementary signals. To evaluate EXPONA, we conducted extensive experiments on eleven classification datasets across diverse domains. Experimental results show that EXPONA consistently outperformed state-of-the-art automated LF generation methods. Specifically, EXPONA achieved nearly complete label coverage (up to 98.9%), improved weak label quality by up to 87%, and yielded downstream performance gains of up to 46% in weighted F1. These results indicate that EXPONA's combination of multi-level LF exploration and reliability-aware filtering enabled more consistent label quality and downstream performance across diverse tasks by balancing coverage and precision in the generated LF set.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper introduces EXPONA, a framework for automated label function (LF) generation in programmatic labeling. It formulates LF creation as a process that systematically explores multi-level heuristics (surface, structural, and semantic) and applies reliability-aware filtering to suppress noisy or redundant signals while retaining complementary ones. Experiments on eleven classification datasets across domains report up to 98.9% label coverage, 87% improvement in weak-label quality, and 46% gains in downstream weighted F1 over prior automated LF methods.

Significance. If the experimental claims hold under rigorous controls, EXPONA would advance automated data annotation by demonstrating that structured multi-level exploration plus targeted filtering can simultaneously raise coverage and precision without introducing unmeasured bias. The approach directly targets the coverage-quality trade-off that limits both LLM-synthesis and primitive-based baselines.

major comments (2)
  1. [Experimental Evaluation] Experimental section: the abstract and results claim peak gains of 98.9% coverage, 87% quality lift, and 46% F1 improvement, yet supply no description of baseline LF implementations, number of random seeds, statistical significance tests, or the precise reliability metric and threshold used in filtering; without these controls the reported superiority cannot be assessed.
  2. [Method] LF generation and filtering subsection: semantic LFs are produced by LLM prompting over hand-crafted primitives, but the manuscript provides no explicit bias-detection metric, cross-domain validation procedure, or ablation that isolates whether the reliability-aware filter removes LLM-induced domain skews; this leaves the central complementarity claim vulnerable on the eleven datasets.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Method] Notation for the reliability score and the diversity objective is introduced without an accompanying equation or pseudocode block, making the filtering step difficult to re-implement.
  2. [Results] Table captions do not list the exact number of LFs generated per method or the coverage metric definition, complicating direct comparison.

    Authors: We agree the submitted version omitted key experimental controls. In revision we will add: (1) explicit re-implementation details for all baselines drawn from their source papers, (2) all metrics reported as mean ± std over 5 random seeds, (3) paired t-test p-values for significance, and (4) the reliability metric as LF accuracy estimated on a 5% held-out validation set with threshold 0.65. These additions will allow full assessment of the reported gains. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Method] LF generation and filtering subsection: semantic LFs are produced by LLM prompting over hand-crafted primitives, but the manuscript provides no explicit bias-detection metric, cross-domain validation procedure, or ablation that isolates whether the reliability-aware filter removes LLM-induced domain skews; this leaves the central complementarity claim vulnerable on the eleven datasets.

    Authors: The reliability filter already prunes LFs using estimated accuracy and agreement scores, which reduces noisy LLM outputs. We acknowledge the absence of an explicit bias metric. In revision we will insert: (i) a KL-divergence bias metric between LLM LF label distributions and validation ground truth, (ii) expanded cross-domain results across all eleven datasets, and (iii) an ablation isolating the filter's effect on domain skew. This will directly support the complementarity claim. revision: partial

full rationale

The paper presents EXPONA as an empirical framework that explores label functions across surface, structural, and semantic levels then applies reliability-aware filtering, with all performance claims (coverage up to 98.9%, quality gains up to 87%, F1 gains up to 46%) resting on direct experimental comparisons against baselines across eleven datasets. No equations, fitted parameters presented as predictions, self-definitional constructs, or load-bearing self-citations appear in the abstract or described derivation. The multi-level exploration and filtering steps are implemented as procedural heuristics whose outputs are measured externally rather than defined in terms of the target metrics, rendering the reported results independent of internal circular reduction.
