Data quality in crowdsourcing and spamming behavior detection.

Behavior research methods
As crowdsourcing emerges as an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining labels for machine learning datasets, it is important to assess the quality of crowd-provided data to improve analysis performance and reduce biases in subsequent machin...

Aggregating soft labels from crowd annotations improves uncertainty estimation under distribution shift.

PloS one
Selecting an effective training signal for machine learning tasks is difficult: expert annotations are expensive, and crowd-sourced annotations may not be reliable. Recent work has demonstrated that learning from a distribution over labels acquired f...

AI-imputed and crowdsourced price data show strong agreement with traditional price surveys in data-scarce environments.

PloS one
Continuous access to up-to-date food price data is crucial for monitoring food security and responding swiftly to emerging risks. However, in many food-insecure countries, price data is often delayed, lacks spatial detail, or is unavailable during cr...

Impact of Image Content on Medical Crowdfunding Success: A Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: As crowdfunding sites proliferate, visual content often serves as the initial bridge connecting a project to its potential backers, underscoring the importance of image selection in effectively engaging an audience.

Crowd-sourced machine learning prediction of long COVID using data from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative.

EBioMedicine
BACKGROUND: While many patients seem to recover from SARS-CoV-2 infections, many patients report experiencing SARS-CoV-2 symptoms for weeks or months after their acute COVID-19 ends, even developing new symptoms weeks after infection. These long-term...

Machine learning surveillance of foodborne infectious diseases using wastewater microbiome, crowdsourced, and environmental data.

Water research
Clostridium perfringens (CP) is a common cause of foodborne infection, leading to significant human health risks and a high economic burden. Thus, effective CP disease surveillance is essential for preventive and therapeutic interventions; however, c...

Boosting wisdom of the crowd for medical image annotation using training performance and task features.

Cognitive research: principles and implications
A crucial bottleneck in medical artificial intelligence (AI) is high-quality labeled medical datasets. In this paper, we test a large variety of wisdom of the crowd algorithms to label medical images that were initially classified by individuals recr...

Assessing generalisability of deep learning-based polyp detection and segmentation methods through a computer vision challenge.

Scientific reports
Polyps are well-known cancer precursors identified by colonoscopy. However, variability in their size, appearance, and location makes the detection of polyps challenging. Moreover, colonoscopy surveillance and removal of polyps are highly operator-de...

Crowdsourcing image segmentation for deep learning: integrated platform for citizen science, paid microtask, and gamification.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
OBJECTIVES: Segmentation is crucial in medical imaging. Deep learning based on convolutional neural networks showed promising results. However, the absence of large-scale datasets and a high degree of inter- and intra-observer variations pose a bottl...

Crowd-Sourced Deep Learning for Intracranial Hemorrhage Identification: Wisdom of Crowds or Laissez-Faire.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Researchers and clinical radiology practices are increasingly faced with the task of selecting the most accurate artificial intelligence tools from an ever-expanding range. In this study, we sought to test the utility of ensem...
