Hear the Whole Story: Towards the Diversity of Opinion in Crowdsourcing Markets

Summary: Introduces quantitative, similarity-driven diversity of opinion as the missing dimension in crowdsourcing marketplace design. S-Model builds task-agnostic crowds and T-Model selects workers for a task, each with efficient budgeted optimization algorithms validated on synthetic and real data.
