2011 Neural Information Processing Systems  
We present Bayesian Bias Mitigation for Crowdsourcing (BBMC), a Bayesian model to unify all three.  ...  Biased labelers are a systemic problem in crowdsourcing, and a comprehensive toolbox for handling their responses is still being developed.  ...  Acknowledgements We would like to thank Purnamrita Sarkar for helpful discussions and Dave Golland for assistance in developing the Amazon Mechanical Turk HITs.  ...

A Checklist to Combat Cognitive Biases in Crowdsourcing

Tim Draws, Alisa Rieger, Oana Inel, Ujwal Gadiraju, Nava Tintarev
2021 Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing  
Recent research has demonstrated that cognitive biases such as the confirmation bias or the anchoring effect can negatively affect the quality of crowdsourced data.  ...  In practice, however, such biases go unnoticed unless specifically assessed or controlled for.  ...  Acknowledgments This activity is financed by IBM and the Allowance for Top Consortia for Knowledge and Innovation (TKI's) of the Dutch ministry of economic affairs.  ...

Co-destruction Patterns in Crowdsourcing [chapter]

Reihaneh Bidar, Arthur H. M. ter Hofstede, Renuka Sindhgatta
2020 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
Crowdsourcing has been a successful paradigm in organising a large number of actors to work on specific tasks and contribute to knowledge collectively.  ...  This collection of so-called co-destruction patterns allows for an-depth analysis of corwdsourcing systems which can benefit a comparative analysis and also assist with improvements of existing systems  ...  The patterns can be used for benchmarking purposes, for the purpose of selecting, configuring or even developing a crowdsourcing system, and for the development of new detection and mitigation methods  ...

Language Understanding in the Wild

Edwin D. Simpson, Matteo Venanzi, Steven Reece, Pushmeet Kohli, John Guiver, Stephen J. Roberts, Nicholas R. Jennings
2015 Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on World Wide Web - WWW '15  
To overcome this problem, we present a novel Bayesian approach to language understanding that relies on aggregated crowdsourced judgements.  ...  However, the subjectivity and bias of human interpreters raise challenges in inferring the semantics expressed by the text.  ...  A key challenge in such crowdsourcing applications is to mitigate the bias of subjective labellers.  ...

2012 IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics  
In this study, a textual and six visual representations for three classic problems were compared using a diverse subject pool through crowdsourcing.  ...  We discuss our findings and the need for more such experiments to be carried out on heterogeneous populations of non-experts.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Yvonne Jansen for her useful feedback on this paper.  ...

Evaluating Complex Task through Crowdsourcing: Multiple Views Approach [article]

Lingyu Lyu, Mehmed Kantardzic
2017 arXiv   pre-print
Bias pattern determines how the behavior is biased among graders, which is detected by a statistical technique. The proposed approach is analyzed on a synthetic data set.  ...  However, for getting grades for complex tasks, which require specific skills and efforts for grading, crowdsourcing encounters a restriction of insufficient knowledge of the workers from the crowd.  ...  In [26] , a Bayesian model, named as Bayesian Bias Mitigation for Crowdsourcing (BBMC), is proposed to capture the sources of bias.  ...

A Trust-based Mixture of Gaussian Processes Model for Reliable Regression in Participatory Sensing

Qikun Xiang, Jie Zhang, Ido Nevat, Pengfei Zhang
2017 Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence  
We develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based algorithm to efficiently perform Bayesian inference of the model.  ...  We propose a novel trust-based mixture of Gaussian processes (GP) model for spatial regression to jointly detect such misbehavior and accurately estimate the spatial field.  ...  Acknowledgements We wish to acknowledge the funding for this project from Nanyang Technological University under the Undergraduate Research Experience on CAmpus (URECA) programme.  ...

Let's Agree to Disagree: Fixing Agreement Measures for Crowdsourcing

Alessandro Checco, Kevin Roitero, Eddy Maddalena, Stefano Mizzaro, Gianluca Demartini
2017 AAAI Conference on Human Computation & Crowdsourcing  
While many measures of agreement between annotators have been proposed, they are known for suffering from many problems and abnormalities.  ...  In the context of micro-task crowdsourcing, each task is usually performed by several workers.  ...  We want to thank the Erasmus+ traineeships program for facilitating collaborations, and the European Science Foundation for funding the Science Meeting SM 5917 under the ELIAS Research Networking Programme  ...

Taken By Surprise? Evaluating how Bayesian Weighting Influences Peoples' Takeaways in Map Visualizations [article]

Akim Ndlovu, Hilson Shrestha, Lane T. Harrison
2023 arXiv   pre-print
Choropleth maps have been studied and extended in many ways to counteract the many biases that can occur when using them.  ...  We report a crowdsourced experiment where n = 300 participants are assigned to one of Choropleth, Surprise (only), and VSUP conditions (depicting rates and Surprise in a suppressed palette).  ...  To mitigate biases for particular dataset contexts discovered in pilot studies (e.g. vaccine skepticism) we reframe both datasets as a sales and marketing task.  ...
