Crowdsourcing a Subjective Labeling Task: A Human-Centered Framework to Ensure Reliable Results

How can we best use crowdsourcing to perform a subjective labeling task with low inter-rater agreement? We have developed a framework for debugging this type of subjective judgment task, and for improving label quality before the crowdsourcing task is run at scale. Our framework alternately varies characteristics of the work, assesses the reliability of the workers, and strives to improve task ...

A Framework to Ensure Trustworthy Web Services

Using trust model to ensure reliable data acquisition in VANETs

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are usually used to reduce the traffic accidents, improve traffic efficiency and safety, promote commercial or infotainment products and etc. All the applications are based on the exchange of data among nodes, so not only reliable data delivery but also the authenticity and reliability of the data itself are prerequisite. For this purpose, a dynamic entity-cen...

An Uncertainty-based Framework to Support Decision-making in Geotechnical Engineering Projects

Construction projects are inherently risky undertakings. They are exposed to uncertainties that can either result in failures or the impediment of the project to achieve some of its objectives. This is particularly true in the case of geotechnical engineering. Uncertainties of ground conditions can adversely affect project time, costs as well as safety on any construction project. Conventional ...
