基于串谋检测的众包结果推理方法

Collusion-Proof Result Inference in Crowdsourcing

  • 摘要: 在众包中,通常考虑工人独立处理任务并且提交答案,从而确保答案的多样性。事实上,当前研究表明来自通用平台的工人之间存在隐式的协作关系。工人为了付出少量的劳动获取更多的报酬,可能提供重复的答案进行串谋。该种行为会严重损害最终众包结果的质量。然而存在的众包方法均没有考虑到串谋对众包结果推理的影响。因此本文提出一种基于串谋检测的众包结果推理方法。利用工人表现的变化率,通过计算删除重复答案之前和之后工人平均表现的差异来检测串谋行为产生的重复答案,并考虑入结果推理方法中,以确保汇聚结果的质量。基于众包平台的真实数据和仿真数据进行了大量的实验评估。实验结果表明了本文方法的优越性。

     

    Abstract: In traditional crowdsourcing, workers are expected to provide independent answers to tasks so as to ensure the diversity of answers. However, recent studies show that the crowd is not a collection of independent workers, but instead that workers communicate and collaborate with each other. To pursue more rewards with little effort, some workers may collude to provide repeated answers, which will damage the quality of the aggregated results. Nonetheless, there are few efforts considering the negative impact of collusion on result inference in crowdsourcing. In this paper, we are specially concerned with the Collusion-Proof result inference problem for general crowdsourcing tasks in public platforms. To that end, we design a metric, the worker performance change rate, to identify the colluded answers by computing the difference of the mean worker performance before and after removing the repeated answers. Then we incorporate the collusion detection result into existing result inference methods to guarantee the quality of the aggregated results even with the occurrence of collusion behaviors. With real-world and synthetic datasets, we conducted an extensive set of evaluations of our approach. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our approach in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods.
