    abstract = "Annotator-provided information during labeling can reflect differences in how texts are understood and interpreted, though such variation may also arise from inconsistencies or errors. To make use of this information, we build a BERT-based model that integrates annotator perspectives and evaluate it on four datasets from the third edition of the Learning With Disagreements (LeWiDi) shared task. For each original data point, we create a new (text, annotator) pair, optionally modifying the text to reflect the annotator{'}s perspective when additional information is available. The text and annotator features are embedded separately and concatenated before classification, enabling the model to capture individual interpretations of the same input. Our model achieves first place on both tasks for the Par and VariErrNLI datasets. More broadly, it performs very well on datasets where annotators provide rich information and the number of annotators is relatively small, while still maintaining competitive results on datasets with limited annotator information and a larger annotator pool."
