Sharifi Noorian, S. (author), Qiu, S. (author), Sayin, Burcu (author), Balayn, A.M.A. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Yang, J. (author), Bozzon, A. (author)High-quality data plays a vital role in developing reliable image classification models. Despite that, what makes an image difficult to classify remains an unstudied topic. This paper provides a first-of-its-kind, model-agnostic characterization of image atypicality based on human understanding. We consider the setting of image classification...conference paper 2023

Qiu, S. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Birk, Max V. (author), Bozzon, A. (author)The future of crowd work has been identified to depend on worker satisfaction, but we lack a thorough understanding of how worker satisfaction can be increased in microtask crowdsourcing. Prior work has shown that one solution is to build tasks that are engaging. To facilitate engagement, two methods that have received attention in recent HCI...journal article 2021

Edixhoven, Tom (author), Qiu, S. (author), Kuiper, Lucie (author), Dikken, Olivier (author), Smitskamp, Gwennan (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author)In popular crowdsourcing marketplaces like Amazon Mechanical Turk, crowd workers complete tasks posted by requesters in return for monetary rewards. Task requesters are solely responsible for deciding whether to accept or reject submitted work. Rejecting work can directly affect the monetary reward of corresponding workers, and indirectly...conference paper 2021

van Alphen, G.A. (author), Qiu, S. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Houben, G.J.P.M. (author)In online crowd mapping, crowd workers recruited through crowdsourcing marketplaces collect geographic data. Compared to traditional mapping methods, where workers physically explore the area, the benefit of using online crowd mapping is the potential to be cost-effective and time-efficient. Previous studies have focused on mapping urban objects...conference paper 2020
