This is the usual problem with hand-labelling training data for learning
systems. Raters can be extremely unreliable. I recall a lecture at the
Swedish neural network society some years ago where one system for crater
detection and classification in radar images turned out to be only limited by
humans disagreeing on what constitutes a crater...
It would be interesting to see what webmind would be able to do with mailing
list posts.
