CrowdScreen: Algorithms for Filtering Data with Humans

Summary: Formalizes crowdsourced data filtering via human-verifiable properties; defines variants. Proposes deterministic/probabilistic algorithms to minimize question cost and error, with empirical gains over heuristics for integration into human-in-the-loop queries.
