The Importance of Being Expert: Efficient Max-Finding in Crowdsourcing

Summary: Two-class crowdsourcing model (experts vs. naive) with a threshold error framework for evaluating accuracy-cost tradeoffs. Proposes a max-finding algorithm achieving a constant-factor approximation with expert and naive workers, and tight upper/lower bounds, validated on CrowdFlower data.
