Image set Annotators

چکیده
Is it possible to crowdsource categorization? Amongst the challenges: (a) each worker has only a partial view of the data, (b) different workers may have different clustering criteria and may produce different numbers of categories, (c) the underlying category structure may be hierarchical. We propose a Bayesian model of how workers may approach clustering and show how one may infer clusters / categories, as well as worker parameters, using this model. Our experiments, carried out on large collections of images, suggest that Bayesian crowdclustering works well and may be superior to single-expert annotations.

The Multidimensional Wisdom of Crowds
Distributing labeling tasks among hundreds or thousands of annotators is an increasingly important method for annotating large datasets. We present a method for estimating the underlying value (e.g. the class) of each image from (noisy) annotations provided by multiple annotators. Our method is based on a model of the image formation and annotation process. Each image has different characterist...
متن کاملImages: Ontology-based Model
In the quest for models that could help to represent the meaning of images, some approaches have used contextual knowledge by building semantic hierarchies. Others have resorted to the integration of images analysis improvement knowledge and images interpretation using ontologies. The images are often annotated with a set of keywords (or ontologies), whose relevance remains highly subjective an...
متن کاملAn Expectation Maximization Approach to Joint Modeling of Multidimensional Ratings Derived from Multiple Annotators
Ratings from multiple human annotators are often pooled in applications where the ground truth is hidden. Examples include annotating perceived emotions and assessing quality metrics for speech and image. These ratings are not restricted to a single dimension and can be multidimensional. In this paper, we propose an Expectation-Maximization based algorithm to model such ratings. Our model assum...
متن کاملHybrid Human-Machine Vision Systems: Image Annotation using Crowds, Experts and Machines
The amount of digital image and video data keeps increasing at an ever-faster rate. While “big data” holds the promise of leading science to new discoveries, raw image data in itself is not of much use. In order to statistically analyze the data, it must be quantified and annotated. We argue that entirely automated methods are not accurate enough to annotate data in the short term. Crowdsourcin...
متن کاملHandling Subtle Sense Distinctions Through Wordnet Semantic Types
In this paper we challenge the question of whether there is value in having multiple layers of semantic information associated with corpus semantic annotation. In this context we introduce a semantic annotation experiment in which novice annotators were asked to assign sense tags to a set of polysemous corpus nouns, using Wordnet as their referential sense repository. Wordnet is a rich sense in...
متن کاملLearning from Multiple Annotators with Gaussian Processes
In many supervised learning tasks it can be costly or infeasible to obtain objective, reliable labels. We may, however, be able to obtain a large number of subjective, possibly noisy, labels from multiple annotators. Typically, annotators have different levels of expertise (i.e., novice, expert) and there is considerable diagreement among annotators. We present a Gaussian process (GP) approach ...
