Crowdsourcing Games for Medical Applications

Supervision: Shadi Albarqouni

Abstract

Crowdsourcing has been widely used for annotation, i.e. collecting ground-truth, in the medical community. Many studies have shown that non-expert can perform as well as experts in crowdsourcing tasks if they were trained well, however, users/crowd are not motivated to complete the task to the very end. Recently, we showed that games can play a crucial role in motivating the crowd in the annotation task. In this work, we need to extend this to many different use cases.

Tasks:

  • Extend the Playsourcing paper
  • Publish it online for crowdsourcing
  • Compare the results with few baselines

Requirements:

  • Good understanding of statistics and machine learning methods.
  • Very good programming skills in Unity3D, Java, and C++/Python

Location:

  • FMI Building, Garching
