Answering Enumeration Queries with the Crowd
Hybrid human/computer database systems promise to greatly expand the usefulness of query processing by incorporating the crowd. Such systems raise many implementation questions. To address the issues, we develop statistical tools that enable users and systems developers to reason about query completeness.
