Abstract:

Many data-intensive applications that use machine learning or artificial
intelligence techniques depend on humans providing the initial dataset,
enabling algorithms to process the rest or for other humans to evaluate the
performance of such algorithms. Not only can labeled data for training and
evaluation be collected faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before, but we
now see the emergence of hybrid human-machine software that combines
computations performed by humans and machines in conjunction. There are,
however, real-world practical issues with the adoption of human computation
and crowdsourcing. Building systems and data processing pipelines that
require crowd computing remains difficult. In this book, we present
practical considerations for designing and implementing tasks that require
the use of humans and machines in combination with the goal of producing
high-quality labels.
