Abstract
Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) depends on mobile users to collect sensing data, whose quality highly depends on the expertise/experience of the users. It is critical for MCS to identify right persons for a given sensing task. A commonly-used strategy is to “teach-before-use”, i.e., training users with a set of questions and selecting a subset of users who have answered the questions correctly the most of times. This method has large room for improvement if we consider users’ learning curve during the training process. As such, we propose an interactive learning pattern recognition framework, Goldilocks, that can filter users based on their learning patterns. Goldilocks uses an adaptive teaching method tailored for each user to maximize her learning performance. At the same time, the teaching process is also the selecting process. A user can thus be safely excluded as early as possible from the MCS tasks later on if her performance still does not match the desired learning pattern after the training period. Experiments on real-world datasets show that compared to the baseline methods, Goldilocks can identify suitable users to obtain more accurate and more stable results for multi-categories classification problems.
