摘要:

虽然众包已成为标记数据的重要手段,但人们对从众包工作者产生的不可靠标签中估计地面真相非常感兴趣。Dawid和Skene(DS)模型是众包研究中最著名的模型之一。尽管它的实际普及,理论误差分析DS模型已进行限制性假设类先验,混淆矩阵,或每个工人提供的标签数量。在本文中,我们推导出一个更广泛的类众包模型,包括DS模型作为一个特殊情况下,更实际的设置下的极大极小错误率。我们进一步提出了工人聚类模型,这是更实用的DS模型下真正的众包设置。我们的理论分析的广泛适用性,使我们能够立即调查的行为,这不能被现有的研究分析提出的模型。实验结果表明,由理论分析得到的极大极小错误率的下界与估计值的经验误差有很强的相似性。

英文摘要:

While crowdsourcing has become an important means to label data, there is great interest in estimating the ground truth from unreliable labels produced by crowdworkers. The Dawid and Skene (DS) model is one of the most well-known models in the study of crowdsourcing. Despite its practical popularity, theoretical error analysis for the DS model has been conducted only under restrictive assumptions on class priors, confusion matrices, or the number of labels each worker provides. In this paper, we derive a minimax error rate under more practical setting for a broader class of crowdsourcing models including the DS model as a special case. We further propose the worker clustering model, which is more practical than the DS model under real crowdsourcing settings. The wide applicability of our theoretical analysis allows us to immediately investigate the behavior of this proposed model, which can not be analyzed by existing studies. Experimental results showed that there is a strong similarity between the lower bound of the minimax error rate derived by our theoretical analysis and the empirical error of the estimated value.
