Reliability Aware Sequence Aggregation.

RASA estimates global workers' reliabilities β\beta that are initialized by ones.

Next, the algorithm iteratively performs two steps:

  1. For each task, estimate the aggregated embedding: e^i=kβkeikkβk\hat{e}_i = \frac{\sum_k \beta_k e_i^k}{\sum_k \beta_k}.

  2. For each worker, estimate the global reliability: βk=χ(α/2,Vk)2i(eike^i2)\beta_k = \frac{\chi^2_{(\alpha/2, |\mathcal{V}_k|)}}{\sum_i\left(\|e_i^k - \hat{e}_i\|^2\right)}, where Vk\mathcal{V}_k is a set of tasks completed by the worker kk.

Finally, the aggregated result is the output which embedding is the closest one to the e^i\hat{e}_i.
