The case

Nagrik Seva, a city corporation's grievance cell, receives 11,795 complaints a month and a clerk reads every one to decide which of eight departments it belongs to. Two clerks given the same complaints agree 80.8% of the time. Can a classifier do this, and what does 'right' mean when the humans disagree?
