MultiSoc-4D: A Benchmark for Diagnosing Instruction-Induced Label Collapse in Closed-Set LLM Annotation of Bengali Social Media

Abstract

Annotation automation via Large Language Models (LLMs) is the core approach for scaling NLP datasets; however, LLM behavior with respect to closed-set instructions in low-resource languages has not been well studied. We present MultiSoc-4D, a Bengali social media dataset benchmark, which contains 58K+ social media comments from six sources annotated along four dimensions: category, sentiment, hate speech, and sarcasm. By employing a structured pipeline where ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok individually annotate separate partitions, while sharing a common validation set of 20%, we diagnose LLM behavior systematically. We discover a prevalent phenomenon called "instruction-induced label collapse", wherein LLMs show a systematic preference towards fallback labels (Other, Neutral, No), leading to high agreement rates but under-detection of minority categories. For example, we find that LLMs failed to detect 79% and 75% of instances with hateful and sarcastic content compared to a human-calibrated reference. Furthermore, we prove that it represents a "label agreement illusion", statistically validated via almost null Fleiss' Kappa ($κ\approx -0.001$) on sarcasm detection. Across 40+ LLMs, we benchmark this annotation bias propagation within the training pipeline, regardless of architectural differences. We release MultiSoc-4D as a diagnostic benchmark for annotation biases in Bengali NLP.
