| Abstract | Using crowdsourcing for gathering labels can be beneficial for supervised machine learning, if done in the right way. Crowdsourcing is more cost-effective and faster than employing experts for labeling the items needed as training examples. Unfortunately, the crowd produced labels are not always of a comparable quality. Therefore, different methods could be employed in order to assure label quality. One of them is redundancy, by gathering more than one label per item, from different assessors. In this paper we introduce a novel method for aggregating multiple crowdsourced binary labels, taking into account the worker's history and how well the worker agrees with the aggregated label. According to previously solved tasks, the worker expertise, or the confidence we have in his labels can be assessed. The computation of the aggregated crowd label is mutually reinforced by the assessment of the worker confidence. Besides a method for computing a hard nominal aggregated label, we also propose a soft label as an indicator of how much the labelers agree and how strong their labels are. Furthermore, we investigate whether or not worker confidence should depend on the provided label, whether discriminating between positive and negative answer quality can be beneficial. We evaluate our method on multiple datasets, covering different domains and label gathering strategies. Moreover, we compare against other state of the art methods, showing the effectiveness of our proposed approach. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
