Human-powered Sorts and Joins

Summary: Integrates crowds into a declarative workflow (Qurk) to support sorting and joining via MTurk in a DBMS-like interface. Uses task batching, numeric ratings, and pre-filtering to dramatically reduce cost while preserving accuracy and latency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
