Separate or joint? Estimation of multiple labels from crowdsourced annotations

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose estimating multiple true labels for multi-labeled instances.

• We flexibly incorporate label dependency into the label-generation process.

• It is effective to simultaneously estimate the states of strongly related labels.

• Reliable results are estimated using the opinions of a few crowdsourcing workers.

• Our models can reduce the cost of multi-label data collection for AI techniques.
