Crowdsourcing Feature Discovery via Adaptively Chosen Comparisons

Zou, James Y., Chaudhuri, Kamalika, Kalai, Adam Tauman

Understand

We introduce an unsupervised approach to efficiently discover the underlying features in a data set via crowdsourcing.

  • Our queries ask crowd members to articulate a feature common to two out of three displayed examples.
  • In addition we also ask the crowd to provide binary labels to the remaining examples based on the discovered features.
  • The triples are chosen adaptively based on the labels of the previously discovered features on the data set.
