DESCRIPTION

Our presentation for the MediaEval 2014 Crowdsourcing Workshop. We showed that looking at the amount of HITs per worker can be a interesting thing to do.

The Idea• Use “good” workers

• Like the task or good with it

• Will do it much better

• So to speak diligent workers

• Do most of the work

• Extra: additional crowd workers

The Runs

• 4 different runs

• Run 1: MJV with additional crowdsourcing

• Run 2: Diligent Workers vote only

• Run3: MJV with weighted diligent workers

• Run4: Run3 with additional crowdsourcing

The Analysis (i)

• Every run is better than the baseline

• R1 is the best performing run

• Small difference between R1 and R2 shows that diligent workers perform very good

The Analysis (ii)

• This can for example be used to save costs

• R2, R3 and R4 perform similar

• Additional Crowdsourcing does not improve results

The Conclusion• Very simple approach

• Showed that it can work

• Quality of workers is more important than the total number of workers

• No gain trough additional crowdsourcing

• Extend work on larger datasets
