Crowdsourcing has shown great potential in obtaining large-scale and cheap labels for different tasks. However, obtaining reliable labels is challenging due to several reasons, such as noisy annotators, limited budget and so on. The state-of-the-art approaches, either suffer in some noisy scenarios, or rely on unlimited resources to acquire reliable labels. In this article, we adopt the learning with expert~(AKA worker in crowdsourcing) advice framework to robustly infer accurate labels by considering the reliability of each worker. However, in order to accurately predict the reliability of each worker, traditional learning with expert advice will consult with external oracles~(AKA domain experts) …

Cost-Sensitive Online Classification is recently proposed to directly online optimize two well-known cost-sensitive measures: (i) maximization of weighted sum of sensitivity and specificity, and (ii) minimization of weighted misclassification cost. However, the previous existing learning algorithms only utilized the first order information of the data stream. This is insufficient, as recent studies have proved that incorporating second order information could yield significant improvements on the prediction model. Hence, we propose a novel cost-sensitive online classification algorithm with adaptive regularization. We theoretically analyzed the proposed algorithm and empirically validated its effectiveness with extensive experiments. We also demonstrate the application of the …
