With the rapidly increasing interest in machine learning based solutions for automatic image annotation, the availability of reference annotations for algorithm training is one of the major bottlenecks in the field. Crowdsourcing has…
Annotated images are required for both supervised model training and evaluation in image classification. Manually annotating images is arduous and expensive, especially for multi-labeled images. A recent trend for conducting such laboursome…
Representation learning has been proven to play an important role in the unprecedented success of machine learning models in numerous tasks, such as machine translation, face recognition and recommendation. The majority of existing…
The problem of estimating subjective visual properties from image and video has attracted increasing interest. A subjective visual property is useful either on its own (e.g. image and video interestingness) or as an intermediate…
Labeling visual data is expensive and time-consuming. Crowdsourcing systems promise to enable highly parallelizable annotations through the participation of monetarily or otherwise motivated workers, but even this approach has its limits.…
Recent advances in data-centric artificial intelligence highlight inherent limitations in object recognition datasets. One of the primary issues stems from the semantic gap problem, which results in complex many-to-many mappings between…
Supervised learning, especially supervised deep learning, requires large amounts of labeled data. One approach to collect large amounts of labeled data is by using a crowdsourcing platform where numerous workers perform the annotation…
We consider the problem of reconstructing a rank-one matrix from a revealed subset of its entries when some of the revealed entries are corrupted with perturbations that are unknown and can be arbitrarily large. It is not known which…
This paper introduces a novel crowdsourcing worker selection algorithm, enhancing annotation quality and reducing costs. Unlike previous studies targeting simpler tasks, this study contends with the complexities of label interdependencies…
Crowd-labeling emerged from the need to label large-scale and complex data, a tedious, expensive, and time-consuming task. One of the main challenges in the crowd-labeling task is to control for or determine in advance the proportion of…
As crowdsourcing emerges as an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining labels for machine learning datasets, it is important to assess the quality of crowd-provided data, so as to improve analysis performance and reduce biases in…
Recent works of opinion expression identification (OEI) rely heavily on the quality and scale of the manually-constructed training corpus, which could be extremely difficult to satisfy. Crowdsourcing is one practical solution for this…
To quickly obtain new labeled data, we can choose crowdsourcing as an alternative way at lower cost in a short time. But as an exchange, crowd annotations from non-experts may be of lower quality than those from experts. In this paper, we…
We introduce a novel crowdsourcing method for identifying important areas in graphical images through punch-hole labeling. Traditional methods, such as gaze trackers and mouse-based annotations, which generate continuous data, can be…
We consider the problem of cost-optimal utilization of a crowdsourcing platform for binary, unsupervised classification of a collection of items, given a prescribed error threshold. Workers on the crowdsourcing platform are assumed to be…
The problem of estimating subjective visual properties (SVP) of images (e.g., Shoes A is more comfortable than B) is gaining rising attention. Due to its highly subjective nature, different annotators often exhibit different interpretations…
Acquiring fine-grained object detection annotations in unconstrained images is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to noise, especially in crowdsourcing scenarios. Most prior object detection methods assume accurate annotations; A few…
In recent years, crowdsourcing, aka human aided computation has emerged as an effective platform for solving problems that are considered complex for machines alone. Using human is time-consuming and costly due to monetary compensations.…
The problem of "approximating the crowd" is that of estimating the crowd's majority opinion by querying only a subset of it. Algorithms that approximate the crowd can intelligently stretch a limited budget for a crowdsourcing task. We…
Learning from crowds describes that the annotations of training data are obtained with crowd-sourcing services. Multiple annotators each complete their own small part of the annotations, where labeling mistakes that depend on annotators…
