CrowdDB: Answering Queries with Crowdsourcing
Summary: CrowdDB extends SQL-based query processing by outsourcing missing or fuzzy results to crowdsourcing. It treats crowd input as a first-class data source under a non-closed-world model and introduces crowd-aware operators, with early MTurk experiments. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
