Towards Globally Optimal Crowdsourcing Quality Management: The Uniform Worker Setting
Summary: Under a uniform worker model, the paper devises algorithms that provably achieve the global optimum of the maximum-likelihood estimates for task answers and worker quality (yes/no and rating tasks). It prunes the mapping space to preserve optimality, characterizes the problem's complexity, and often outperforms EM-based estimates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
