Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a new technique for estimating the likability of call-center agents.
Most techniques of likability estimation collect many annotations per sample since the annotations often include the variability of annotator evaluations.
Due to the inability to collect sufficient annotations, which are labeled by experts such as supervisor of call-center, from actual call-centers, the few annotations per call available cannot eliminate the variability.
We proposes two likability model training techniques from the few annotations per call based on annotators’ skill.
First, our technique provides reasonable labels, which eliminated from the influence of annotators’ skills, for model training from observed labels.
We also proposes a new neural network architecture that has a layer considering the variability of observed labels from each annotator.
Our proposal achieved 12.0% error reduction compared with baseline techniques.
