Objective: This research explores using crowdsourcing for software usability evaluation. Background: Usability studies are essential for designing user-friendly software, but traditional methods are often costly and time-consuming.…
Conducting user studies is a crucial component in many scientific fields. While some studies require participants to be physically present, other studies can be conducted both physically (e.g. in-lab) and online (e.g. via crowdsourcing).…
Objective: This research study aims to investigate the use of novice crowd inspectors for usability inspection with respect to time spent and the cost incurred. This study compares the results of the novice crowd usability inspection guided…
This work-in-progress paper describes a vision, i.e., that of fast and reliable software user experience studies conducted with the help from the crowd. Commonly, user studies are controlled in-lab activities that require the instruction,…
We investigate the feasibility of obtaining highly trustworthy results using crowdsourcing on complex engineering tasks. Crowdsourcing is increasingly seen as a potentially powerful way of increasing the supply of labor for solving…
In the last decade, crowdsourcing has become a popular method for conducting quantitative empirical studies in human-machine interaction. The remote work on a given task in crowdworking settings suits the character of typical…
We build on the increasing availability of Virtual Reality (VR) devices and Web technologies to conduct behavioral experiments in VR using crowdsourcing techniques. A new recruiting and validation method allows us to create a panel of…
This paper reports on the challenges and lessons we learned while running controlled experiments in crowdsourcing platforms. Crowdsourcing is becoming an attractive technique to engage a diverse and large pool of subjects in experimental…
The most frequently used method to collect research data online is crowdsouring and its use continues to grow rapidly. This report investigates for the first time whether researchers also have to expect significantly different hardware…
Traditionally, psychophysical experiments are conducted by repeated measurements on a few well-trained participants under well-controlled conditions, often resulting in, if done properly, high quality data. In recent years, however,…
Challenges around collecting and processing quality data have hampered progress in data-driven dialogue models. Previous approaches are moving away from costly, resource-intensive lab settings, where collection is slow but where the data is…
We present CrowdHub, a tool for running systematic evaluations of task designs on top of crowdsourcing platforms. The goal is to support the evaluation process, avoiding potential experimental biases that, according to our empirical…
Many data mining tasks cannot be completely addressed by auto- mated processes, such as sentiment analysis and image classification. Crowdsourcing is an effective way to harness the human cognitive ability to process these machine-hard…
Teachable interfaces can empower end-users to attune machine learning systems to their idiosyncratic characteristics and environment by explicitly providing pertinent training examples. While facilitating control, their effectiveness can be…
Crowd work platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific are vital for research, yet workers' growing use of generative AI tools poses challenges. Researchers face compromised data validity as AI responses replace authentic human…
Large-scale labeled dataset is the indispensable fuel that ignites the AI revolution as we see today. Most such datasets are constructed using crowdsourcing services such as Amazon Mechanical Turk which provides noisy labels from…
Literature reviews allow scientists to stand on the shoulders of giants, showing promising directions, summarizing progress, and pointing out existing challenges in research. At the same time conducting a systematic literature review is a…
Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) are important tools for researchers seeking to conduct studies with a broad, global participant base. Despite their popularity and demonstrated utility, we present evidence that…
We present and analyze results from a pilot study that explores how crowdsourcing can be used in the process of generating distractors (incorrect answer choices) in multiple-choice concept inventories (conceptual tests of understanding). To…
In this work, we initiate the investigation of optimization opportunities in collaborative crowdsourcing. Many popular applications, such as collaborative document editing, sentence translation, or citizen science resort to this special…
