This document presents Pick-A-Crowd, a crowdsourcing platform that uses a task-to-worker recommender system to match workers to human intelligence tasks based on their social profiles and task contexts. It describes common crowdsourcing approaches, and proposes using workers' social media likes to determine their expertise and assign them to relevant tasks. An evaluation of Pick-A-Crowd showed it improved task quality over traditional methods by better targeting workers. The authors invite others to pre-register for their new OpenTurk platform to further develop these crowd-powered techniques.
Social Network Analysis: applications for education researchChristian Bokhove
What is your talk about?
This seminar will illustrate various social network analysis (SNA) techniques and measures and their applications to research problems in education. These applications will be illustrated from our own research utilising a range of SNA techniques.
What are the key messages of your talk?
We will cover some of the ways in which network data can be collected and utilised with other research data to examine the relationships between network measures and other attributes of individuals and organisations, and how it can be linked to other approaches in multiple methods studies.
What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?
SNA is an approach that draws from theories of social capital to study the relational ties that exist between actors or institutions in a specific context. Such ties might include learning exchanges or advice-seeking interactions. SNA techniques allow researchers to incorporate the interdependence of participants within their research questions, whereas many traditional techniques assume our participants, and their responses to our questions, are independent of one another.

Social Network Analysis: What It Is, Why We Should Care, and What We Can Lear...Xiaohan Zeng
The advent of the social networks has completely changed our daily life. The deluge of data collected on Social Network Services (SNS) and recent developments in complex network theory have enabled many marvelous predictive analysis, which tells us many amazing stories.
Why do we often feel that "the world is so small?" Is the six-degree separation purely imagination or based on mathematical insights? Why are there just a few rockstars who enjoy extreme popularity while most of us stay unknown to the world? When science meets coffee shop knowledge, things are bound to be intriguing.
I will first briefly describe what social networks are, in the mathematical sense. Then I will introduce some ways to extract characteristics of networks, and how these analyses can explain many anecdotes in our life. Finally, I'll show an example of what we can learn from social network analysis, based on data from Groupon.
This workshop will introduce some of the main principles and techniques of Social Network Analysis (SNA). We will use examples from organizational and social media-based networks to understand concepts such as network density, diameter, centrality measures, community detection algorithms, etc. The session will also introduce Gephi, a popular program for SNA. Gephi is a free and open-source tool that is available for both Mac and PC computers.
By the end of the session, you will develop a general understanding of what SNA is, what research questions it can help you answer, and how it can be applied to your own research. You will also learn how to use Gephi to visualize and examine networks using various layout and community detection algorithms.

Cross discipline collaboration benefits from group think, a consolidation of soft system methodology and user focused design that all starts with design thinking that sees clients, designers, developers and information architects working together to address user problems and needs. As with any great adventure, design thinking starts with exploration and discovery.This presentation examines the high level tenants of system thinking, expands the scope of user thinking to include tools and devices that users employ to find out designs and delve into the specifics of design thinking, its methods and outcomes.
Over the last few years we have observed the emergence of hybrid human-machine information systems which are able to both scale over large amount of data as well as to maintain high-quality data processing intrinsic in human intelligence.
In this talk I will focus on the use of human intelligence at scale by means of crowdsourcing to deal with Big Data problems. We will look specifically on how to deal with the variety in data by means of Human Computation still being able to operate with a large data volume.
First, I will introduce the area of micro-task crowdsourcing also providing an overview of different research challenges that needs to be tackled to enable large-scale hybrid human-machine information systems. Next, I will provide examples of such hybrid systems for entity linking and disambiguation using crowdsourcing and a graph of linked entities as background corpus. I will describe how keyword query understanding can be crowdsourced to build search engines that can answer rare complex queries. Finally, I will present new techniques that allow to improve the quality of crowdsourced information system components by means of push crowdsourcing.
SLUA: Towards Semantic Linking of Users with Actions in CrowdsourcingUmair ul Hassan
https://www.insight-centre.org/content/slua-towards-semantic-linking-users-actions-crowdsourcing
Presented at ISWC 2013
Abstract:
Recent advances in web technologies allow people to help solve complex problems by performing online tasks in return for money, learning, or fun. At present, human contribution is limited to the tasks defined on individual crowdsourcing platforms. Furthermore, there is a lack of tools and technologies that support matching of tasks with appropriate users, across multiple systems. A more explicit capture of the semantics of crowdsourcing tasks could enable the design and development of matchmaking services between users and tasks. The paper presents the SLUA ontology that aims to model users and tasks in crowdsourcing systems in terms of the relevant actions, capabilities, and re-wards. This model describes different types of human tasks that help in solving complex problems using crowds. The paper provides examples of describing users and tasks in some real world systems, with SLUA ontology.
SEMANTiCS2016 - Exploring Dynamics and Semantics of User Interests for User ...GUANGYUAN PIAO
In this paper, we propose user modeling strategies which
use Concept Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency (CF-
IDF) as a weighting scheme and incorporate either or both
of the dynamics and semantics of user interests. To this end,
we first provide a comparative study on different user modeling strategies considering the dynamics of user interests in
previous literature to present their comparative performance.
In addition, we investigate different types of information (i.e.,
categories, classes and connected entities via various proper-
ties) for entities from DBpedia and the combination of them
for extending user interest profiles. Finally, we build our user
modeling strategies incorporating either or both of the best-
performing methods in each dimension. Results show that
our strategies outperform two baseline strategies significantly
in the context of link recommendations on Twitter.

Answering Search Queries with CrowdSearcher: a crowdsourcing and social netwo...Marco Brambilla
Web users are increasingly relying on social interaction to complete and validate the results of their search activities. While search systems are superior machines to get world-wide information, the opinions collected within friends and expert/local communities can ultimately determine our decisions: human curiosity and creativity is often capable of going much beyond the capabilities of search systems in scouting “interesting” results, or suggesting new, unexpected search directions. Such personalized interaction occurs in most times aside of the search systems and processes, possibly instrumented and mediated by a social network; when such interaction is completed and users resort to the use of search systems, they do it through new queries, loosely related to the previous search or to the social interaction.
In this paper we propose CrowdSearcher, a novel search paradigm that embodies crowds as first-class sources for the information seeking process. CrowdSearcher aims at filling the gap between generalized search systems, which operate upon world-wide information - including facts and recommendations as crawled and indexed by computerized systems – with social systems, capable of interacting with real people, in real time, to capture their opinions, suggestions, emotions. The technical contribution of this paper is the discussion of a model and architecture for integrating computerized search with human interaction, by showing how search systems can drive and encapsulate social systems. In particular we show how social platforms, such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, can be used for crowdsourcing search-related tasks; we demonstrate our approach with several prototypes and we report on our experiment upon real user communities.
A Research Plan to Study Impact of a Collaborative Web Search Tool on Novice'...Karthikeyan Umapathy
In the past decade, research efforts dedicated to studying the process of collaborative web search have been on the rise. Yet, limited number of studies have examined the impact of collaborative information search process on novice’s query behaviors. Studying and analyzing factors that influence web search behaviors, specifically users’ patterns of queries when using collaborative search systems can help with making query suggestions for group users. Improvements in user query behaviors and system query suggestions help in reducing search time and increasing query success rates for novices. In this paper, we present an empirical study plan designed to investigate the influence of collaboration between experts and novices as well as use of a collaborative web search tool on novice’s query behavior. In this research-in-progress study, we intend to use SearchTeam as our collaborative search tool. The results of this study are expected to provide information that could help collaborative web search tool designers to find ways to improve the query suggestions feature for group users. Additionally, this study will test the hypothesis that – having domain experts working with non-experts using collaborative search systems would immensely increase the query success rates for non-expert users, and help them learn querying strategies over the course of time. If the above hypothesis is proven, then use of collaborative web search tools during training of interns would be highly recommended.

Efficient, Scalable, and Provenance-Aware Management of Linked DataeXascale Infolab
The proliferation of heterogeneous Linked Data on the Web requires data management systems to constantly improve their scalability and efficiency. Despite recent advances in distributed Linked Data management, efficiently processing large amounts of Linked Data in a scalable way is still very challenging. In spite of their seemingly simple data models, Linked Data actually encode rich and complex graphs mixing both instance and schema level data. At the same time, users are increasingly interested in investigating or visualizing large collections of online data by performing complex analytic queries. The heterogeneity of Linked Data on the Web also poses new challenges to database systems. The capacity to store, track, and query provenance data is becoming a pivotal feature of Linked Data Management Systems. In this thesis, we tackle issues revolving around processing queries on big, unstructured, and heterogeneous Linked Data graphs.

Executing Provenance-Enabled Queries over Web DataeXascale Infolab
The proliferation of heterogeneous Linked Data on the Web poses new challenges to database systems. In particular, because of this heterogeneity, the capacity to store, track, and query provenance data is becoming a pivotal feature of modern triple stores. In this paper, we tackle the problem of efficiently executing provenance-enabled queries over RDF data. We propose, implement and empirically evaluate five different query execution strategies for RDF queries that incorporate knowledge of provenance. The evaluation is conducted on Web Data obtained from two different Web crawls (The Billion Triple Challenge, and the Web Data Commons). Our evaluation shows that using an adaptive query materialization execution strategy performs best in our context. Interestingly, we find that because provenance is prevalent within Web Data and is highly selective, it can be used to improve query processing performance. This is a counterintuitive result as provenance is often associated with additional overhead.
Micro-task crowdsourcing is rapidly gaining popularity among research communities and businesses as a means to leverage Human Computation in their daily operations. Unlike any other service, a crowdsourcing platform is in fact a marketplace subject to human factors that affect its performance, both in terms of speed and quality. Indeed, such factors shape the dynamics of the crowdsourcing market. For example, a known behavior of such markets is that increasing the reward of a set of tasks would lead to faster results. However, it is still unclear how different dimensions interact with each other: reward, task type, market competition, requester reputation, etc.
In this paper, we adopt a data-driven approach to (A) perform a long-term analysis of a popular micro-task crowdsourcing platform and understand the evolution of its main actors (workers, requesters, and platform). (B) We leverage the main findings of our five year log analysis to propose features used in a predictive model aiming at determining the expected performance of any batch at a specific point in time. We show that the number of tasks left in a batch and how recent the batch is are two key features of the prediction. (C) Finally, we conduct an analysis of the demand (new tasks posted by the requesters) and supply (number of tasks completed by the workforce) and show how they affect task prices on the marketplace.
CIKM14: Fixing grammatical errors by preposition rankingeXascale Infolab
The detection and correction of grammatical errors still represent very hard problems for modern error-correction systems. As an example, the top-performing systems at the preposition correction challenge CoNLL-2013 only achieved a F1 score of 17%.
In this paper, we propose and extensively evaluate a series of approaches for correcting prepositions, analyzing a large body of high-quality textual content to capture language usage. Leveraging n-gram statistics, association measures, and machine learning techniques, our system is able to learn which words or phrases govern the usage of a specific preposition. Our approach makes heavy use of n-gram statistics generated from very large textual corpora. In particular, one of our key features is the use of n-gram association measures (e.g., Pointwise Mutual Information) between words and prepositions to generate better aggregated preposition rankings for the individual n-grams.
We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach using cross-validation with different feature combinations and on two test collections created from a set of English language exams and StackExchange forums. We also compare against state-of-the-art supervised methods. Experimental results from the CoNLL-2013 test collection show that our approach to preposition correction achieves ~30% in F1 score which results in 13% absolute improvement over the best performing approach at that challenge.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Crowdsourcing
• Exploit human intelligence to solve tasks that
are simple for Humans and complex for
machines
• Examples:
– Wikipedia, reCaptcha, Duolingo
• Incentives
– Financial, fun, visibility
2
3. Motivation
• The Pull Methodology is suboptimal
Actual workers
Max Overlap
Effective workers

5. Contribution and Claim
• Pick-A-Crowd: A system architecture that uses
Task-to-Worker matching:
– The worker’s social profile
– The task context
• Workers can provide higher quality answers
on tasks they relate to

10. Matching Models (1/3)–
Category Based
• The requester provides a list of categories related to the batch
• We create a subset of pages whose category is in the category
list of the batch
• Rank the workers by the number of liked pages in the subset
11
11. Matching Models (2/3) –
Expert Finding
•
•
•
Build an inverted index on the pages’ titles and description
Use the title/description of the tasks as a key word query on the
inverted index and get a subset of pages
Rank the workers by the number of liked pages in the subset
12
12. Matching Models (3/3) –
Semantic Based
•
•
Link the context to an external knowledge base (e.g., DBPedia)
Exploit the underlying graph structure to determine the Hits and Pages similarity
– Assumption that a worker who likes a page is able to answer questions about related entities
– Worker who likes a page is able to answer questions about entities of the same type
•
Rank the workers by the number of liked pages in the subset
Similarity
Relatedness
HIT
FB Pages
Type-Similarity

14. Experimental Evaluation
• The Facebook app OpenTurkimplements part
of the Pick-A-Crowd architecture:
– More than 170 registered workers participated
– Over 12k pages crawled
• Covered both multiple answer questions as
well as open-ended questions
– 50 images with multiple choice question and 5 candidate answers
(Soccer, Actors, Music, Authors,Movies, Animes)
– Answer 20 open-ended questions related to the topic (Cricket)

22. Conclusions and Future Work
• Pull vs. Pushmethodologies in Crowdsourcing
• Pick-A-Crowd system architecture with Taskto-Worker recommendation
• Experimental comparison with AMT shows a
consistent quality improvement
“Workers Know what they Like”
• Exploit more of the social activity, and handle
content-less tasks
25
23. Next Step
• We are building a Crowdsourcing platform for
the research community
