PLACO Framework for Cost-Effective Human-AI Team Performance

ai-technology · 2026-05-12

A new multi-stage framework called PLACO aims to improve performance in Human-AI teams while reducing costs. The framework addresses classification tasks where a human and a model combine outputs. Prior work used Bayes rule assuming conditional independence between human and model given ground truth, combining a deterministic human labeler with a probabilistic model. PLACO extends this by introducing a multi-stage approach that considers instance-level model confidence and class-level human expertise, optimizing for cost-effectiveness. The paper is published on arXiv under identifier 2605.08388.
