Mobile crowdsensing has emerged as an efficient sensing paradigm which combines the crowd intelligence and the sensing power of mobile devices, e.g.,~mobile phones and Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets. This article addresses the…

Crowdsourced machine learning on competition platforms such as Kaggle is a popular and often effective method for generating accurate models. Typically, teams vie for the most accurate model, as measured by overall error on a holdout set,…

In crowd labeling, a large amount of unlabeled data instances are outsourced to a crowd of workers. Workers will be paid for each label they provide, but the labeling requester usually has only a limited amount of the budget. Since data…

Online crowdsourcing provides a scalable and inexpensive means to collect knowledge (e.g. labels) about various types of data items (e.g. text, audio, video). However, it is also known to result in large variance in the quality of recorded…

The widespread use of mobile devices propels the development of new-fashioned video applications like 3D (3-Dimensional) stereo video and mobile cloud game via web or App, exerting more pressure on current mobile access network. To address…

This paper studies efficient distributed optimization methods for multi-agent networks. Specifically, we consider a convex optimization problem with a globally coupled linear equality constraint and local polyhedra constraints, and develop…

We propose a variant of alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM) to solve constrained trajectory optimization problems. Our ADMM framework breaks a joint optimization into small sub-problems, leading to a low iteration cost and…

Crowd analysis and management is a challenging problem to ensure public safety and security. For this purpose, many techniques have been proposed to cope with various problems. However, the generalization capabilities of these techniques is…

Quality control plays a critical role in crowdsourcing. The state-of-the-art work is not suitable for large-scale crowdsourcing applications, since it is a long haul for the requestor to verify task quality or select professional workers in…

A major challenge in Natural Language Processing is obtaining annotated data for supervised learning. An option is the use of crowdsourcing platforms for data annotation. However, crowdsourcing introduces issues related to the annotator's…

This paper explores mobile crowdsensing, which leverages mobile devices and their users for collective sensing tasks under the coordination of a central requester. The primary challenge here is the variability in the sensing capabilities of…

Incentives are key to the success of crowdsourcing which heavily depends on the level of user participation. This paper designs an incentive mechanism to motivate a heterogeneous crowd of users to actively participate in crowdsourcing…

We consider a requester who acquires a set of data (e.g. images) that is not owned by one party. In order to collect as many data as possible, crowdsourcing mechanisms have been widely used to seek help from the crowd. However, existing…

Being able to infer ground truth from the responses of multiple imperfect advisors is a problem of crucial importance in many decision-making applications, such as lending, trading, investment, and crowd-sourcing. In practice, however,…

In recent years, crowdsourcing is increasingly applied as a means to enhance data quality. Although the crowd generates insightful information especially for complex problems such as entity resolution (ER), the output quality of crowd…

Crowdsourcing works by distributing many small tasks to large numbers of workers, yet the true potential of crowdsourcing lies in workers doing more than performing simple tasks---they can apply their experience and creativity to provide…

The advancement of mobile technologies and the proliferation of map-based applications have enabled a user to access a wide variety of services that range from information queries to navigation systems. Due to the popularity of map-based…

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations are expected to transform air transportation while challenging current air traffic management practices. By introducing a novel market-based mechanism, we address the problem of on-demand allocation of…

Crowdsourcing plays an essential role in the Internet of Things (IoT) for data collection, where a group of workers is equipped with Internet-connected geolocated devices to collect sensor data for marketing or research purpose. In this…

The evolution of AI is advancing rapidly, creating both challenges and opportunities for industry-community collaboration. In this work, we present a novel methodology aiming to facilitate this collaboration through crowdsourcing of AI…
