Waldo: An Adaptive Human Interface for Crowd Entity Resolution

Summary: Waldo presents an adaptive hybrid UI for crowd-based ER, merging two common human-task interfaces. Formalizes the human-task selection problem, offers optimality-guaranteed algorithms, and reports 50–300% crowd-cost reductions versus baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
