DataPop: Knowledge Base Population using Distributed Voice Enabled Devices

Databases 2019-07-02 v1 Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

Data scientists are constantly creating methods to efficiently and accurately populate big data sets for use in large-scale applications. Many recent efforts utilize crowd-sourcing and textual interfaces. In this paper, we propose a new method of curating data; namely, creating a multi-device Amazon Alexa Skill in the form of a research trivia game. Users experience a synchronized gaming experience with other Amazon Echo users, competing against one another while filling in gaps of a connected knowledge base. This allows for full exploitation of the speed improvement offered by voice interface technology in a game-based format.
