Dynamic estimation of worker reliability in crowdsourcing for regression tasks: Making it work

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose DER3, a novel approach to estimate worker reliability in crowdsourcing dynamically.

• Constant rater availability is not required.

• A large number of tasks with correct answers known in advance is not required.

• DER3 is specifically suited for regression tasks, but can also be used in different settings.

• DER3 leads to the results of high accuracy and low costs in different application domains.
