A Needle in a Haystack: An Analysis of High-Agreement Workers on MTurk for Summarization

ACL 2023long

To prevent the costly and inefficient use of resources on low-quality annotations, we want a method for creating a pool of dependable annotators who can effectively complete difficult tasks, such as evaluating automatic summarization. Thus, we investigate the recruitment of high-quality Amazon Mecha…

Arbitrary view action recognition via transfer dictionary learning on synthetic training data

ICRA 2016

Human action recognition is an important problem in robotic vision. Traditional recognition algorithms usually require the knowledge of view angle, which is not always available in robotic applications such as active vision. In this paper, we propose a new framework to recognize actions with arbitra
