Crowdsourcing-based content moderation is a platform that hosts content moderation tasks for crowd workers to review user submissions (e.g. text, images and videos) and make decisions regarding the admissibility of the posted content, along…
The growing need for labeled training data has made crowdsourcing an important part of machine learning. The quality of crowdsourced labels is, however, adversely affected by three factors: (1) the workers are not experts; (2) the…
Crowdsourcing has become an effective and popular tool for human-powered computation to label large datasets. Since the workers can be unreliable, it is common in crowdsourcing to assign multiple workers to one task, and to aggregate the…
Crowdsourcing allows to instantly recruit workers on the web to annotate image, web page, or document databases. However, worker unreliability prevents taking a workers responses at face value. Thus, responses from multiple workers are…
Crowdsourcing information constitutes an important aspect of human-in-the-loop learning for researchers across multiple disciplines such as AI, HCI, and social science. While using crowdsourced data for subjective tasks is not new,…
Machine learning has a recognised need for large amounts of annotated data. Due to the high cost of expert annotations, crowdsourcing, where non-experts are asked to label or outline images, has been proposed as an alternative. Although…
Crowdsourcing is the primary means to generate training data at scale, and when combined with sophisticated machine learning algorithms, crowdsourcing is an enabler for a variety of emergent automated applications impacting all spheres of…
Machine Learning approaches like clustering methods deal with massive datasets that present an increasing challenge. We devise parallel algorithms to compute the Multi-Slice Clustering (MSC) for 3rd-order tensors. The MSC method is based on…
Due to the difficulties in replicating and scaling up qualitative studies, such studies are rarely verified. Accordingly, in this paper, we leverage the advantages of crowdsourcing (low costs, fast speed, scalable workforce) to replicate…
Mobile crowdsourcing refers to systems where the completion of tasks necessarily requires physical movement of crowdworkers in an on-demand workforce. Evidence suggests that in such systems, tasks often get assigned to crowdworkers who…
Crowd-sourcing is a cheap and popular means of creating training and evaluation datasets for machine learning, however it poses the problem of `truth inference', as individual workers cannot be wholly trusted to provide reliable…
We study the problem of crowdsourced PAC learning of threshold functions. This is a challenging problem and only recently have query-efficient algorithms been established under the assumption that a noticeable fraction of the workers are…
Short text clustering is a challenging task due to the lack of signal contained in such short texts. In this work, we propose iterative classification as a method to b o ost the clustering quality (e.g., accuracy) of short texts. Given a…
New techniques leveraging IT-mediated crowds such as Crowdsensing, Situated Crowdsourcing, Spatial Crowdsourcing, and Wearables Crowdsourcing have now materially emerged. These techniques, here termed next generation Crowdsourcing, serve to…
The data distribution in popular crowd counting datasets is typically heavy tailed and discontinuous. This skew affects all stages within the pipelines of deep crowd counting approaches. Specifically, the approaches exhibit unacceptably…
Crowdsourcing is an emerging computing paradigm that takes advantage of the intelligence of a crowd to solve complex problems effectively. Besides collecting and processing data, it is also a great demand for the crowd to conduct…
This paper considers clustered multi-task compressive sensing, a hierarchical model that solves multiple compressive sensing tasks by finding clusters of tasks that leverage shared information to mutually improve signal reconstruction. The…
The process of gathering ground truth data through human annotation is a major bottleneck in the use of information extraction methods for populating the Semantic Web. Crowdsourcing-based approaches are gaining popularity in the attempt to…
Crowdsourcing employs human workers to solve computer-hard problems, such as data cleaning, entity resolution, and sentiment analysis. When crowdsourcing tabular data, e.g., the attribute values of an entity set, a worker's answers on the…
Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) engages large worker pools for location-based tasks, attracting growing research interest. However, prior SC task allocation approaches exhibit limitations in computational efficiency, balanced matching, and…
