The Potential of In-train Crowdsourcing
نویسنده
چکیده
Nowadays passenger carriers are improving their services by offering IT-services within their carriers. This paper describes a design science study on whether or not we can let the company crowdsource activities using these systems and, by doing so, provide the customer a better experience. As test environment the Dutch Railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen, NS) new in-train information systems were used. Artifacts were created and adoption was researched utilizing a survey. Some interesting conclusions are drawn on the feasibility of adoption and implementation of crowdsourcing in a moving environment. Adoption is more likely to occur when serious applications are used, as opposed to entertainment applications.

Perform Three Data Mining Tasks with Crowdsourcing Process
For data mining studies, because of the complexity of doing feature selection process in tasks by hand, we need to send some of labeling to the workers with crowdsourcing activities. The process of outsourcing data mining tasks to users is often handled by software systems without enough knowledge of the age or geography of the users' residence. Uncertainty about the performance of virtual user...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Annotation for Machine Learning in Natural Language Processing Tasks
Human annotators are critical for creating the necessary datasets to train statistical learners, but annotation cost and limited access to qualified annotators forms a data bottleneck. In recent years, researchers have investigated overcoming this obstacle using crowdsourcing, which is the delegation of a particular task to a large group of untrained individuals rather than a select trained few...
متن کاملUsing Crowdsourcing and Active Learning to Track Sentiment in Online Media
Tracking sentiment in the popular media has long been of interest to media analysts and pundits. With the availability of news content via online syndicated feeds, it is now possible to automate some aspects of this process. There is also great potential to crowdsource1 much of the annotation work that is required to train a machine learning system to perform sentiment scoring. We describe such...
متن کاملCan Masses of Non-Experts Train Highly Accurate Image Classifiers? - A Crowdsourcing Approach to Instrument Segmentation in Laparoscopic Images
Machine learning algorithms are gaining increasing interest in the context of computer-assisted interventions. One of the bottlenecks so far, however, has been the availability of training data, typically generated by medical experts with very limited resources. Crowdsourcing is a new trend that is based on outsourcing cognitive tasks to many anonymous untrained individuals from an online commu...
متن کاملCost Optimization for Crowdsourcing Translation
Crowdsourcing makes it possible to create translations at much lower cost than hiring professional translators. However, it is still expensive to obtain the millions of translations that are needed to train statistical machine translation systems. We propose two mechanisms to reduce the cost of crowdsourcing while maintaining high translation quality. First, we develop a method to reduce redund...
