Recently, crowdsourcing has established itself as an efficient labeling solution by distributing tasks to crowd workers. As the workers can make mistakes with diverse expertise, one core learning task is to estimate each worker’s expertise, and aggregate over them to infer the latent true labels. In this paper, we show that as one of the major research directions, the noise transition matrix based worker expertise modeling methods commonly overfit the annotation noise, either due to the oversimplified noise assumption or inaccurate estimation. To solve this problem, we propose a knowledge distillation framework (KD-Crowd) by combining the complementary strength of noise-model-free robust learning techniques and transition matrix based worker expertise modeling. The framework consists of two stages: in Stage 1, a noise-model-free robust student model is trained by treating the prediction of a transition matrix based crowdsourcing teacher model as noisy labels, aiming at correcting the teacher’s mistakes and obtaining better true label predictions;in Stage 2, we switch their roles, retraining a better crowdsourcing model using the crowds’ annotations supervised by the refined true label predictions given by Stage 1. Additionally, we propose one f-mutual information gain (MIG^(f)) based knowledge distillation loss, which finds the maximum information intersection between the student’s and teacher’s prediction. We show in experiments that MIG^(f) achieves obvious improvements compared to the regular KL divergence knowledge distillation loss, which tends to force the student to memorize all information of the teacher’s prediction, including its errors. We conduct extensive experiments showing that, as a universal framework, KD-Crowd substantially improves previous crowdsourcing methods on true label prediction and worker expertise estimation.

High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI) matrices are primarily generated in all kinds of big-data-related practical applications. A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable ***, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational ***, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, product design and development play critical roles in an enterprise’s success;therefore, consumer demand must be understood. Enterprises used to understand their consumers’ demands through time-consuming questionnaire surveys and statistical analyses. As the Internet and the popularity of virtual communities have grown, more consumers are leaving comments about their perceptions of the appeal of products on online social media platforms, thus enabling enterprises to more objectively understand consumers’ product preferences and demands. Therefore, determining how to effectively assist enterprises in analyzing valuable information beneficial to product design and development that can be gleaned from the large amount of social media data available is critical to promoting an enterprise’s competitive advantage in the product market. However, previous studies have primarily focused on understanding consumer viewpoints of products through review articles or electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM;it is a common channel for spreading product appraisals) from online social media. For these review articles and eWOM that can imply consumer demand for product features, there were no relevant studies focused on analyzing consumer demand by using both online review articles and eWOM for product feature evolution. Therefore, for new product features, this study developed a mechanism for product evolution course mining from product-related review articles (such as product functions or specifications) and eWOM on online social media to realize the prediction of future product features or specifications, and then assist enterprises in rapidly and accurately grasping product development trends to effectively discern key reference information for product design and development. The study was achieved by (1) designing a process for online information-based product evolution course mining and prediction, (ii) developing techniques related to
