Whom to Ask? Jury Selection for Decision Making Tasks on Micro-blog Services

Summary: Formulates jury selection for crowdsourced decisions on micro-blogs as minimizing majority-vote Jury Error Rate under budget, accounting for heterogeneous juror accuracies. Provides efficient JER computation/bounds, an exact algorithm for altruistic users, and an NP-hardness result with a greedy heuristic for paid users. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
