We also put some additional thought into the `filter_both_ac` parameter, which enables filtering for all annotation collections when calculating IAA scores. With this release, the default is set to always filter all annotation collections ⚙️

CATMA @catma.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It joins an expanded IAA toolkit: Cohen's kappa & Scott's pi as dedicated methods, co-occurrence and confusion matrices and filters by tags and properties – handy for checking how well your annotators actually agree 🤝
