Crowdsourced Top-k Queries by Confidence-Aware Pairwise Judgments
Summary: Crowdsourced top-k processing via confidence-aware pairwise judgments; uses t-distribution and Stein estimators to bound per-comparison confidence. Under Select-Partition-Rank, minimizes cost; four real datasets show superiority to prior top-k methods. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
