SegmentationEM(
    self,
    n_iter: int = 10,
    tol: float = 1e-05
)

The EM algorithm for the image segmentation task.

This method performs a categorical aggregation task for each pixel: should it be included to the resulting aggregate or no. This task is solved by the single coin Dawid-Skene algorithm. Each worker has a latent parameter "skill" that shows the probability of this worker to answer correctly. Skills and true pixels' labels are optimized by the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Parameters Description

Examples:

import numpy as np

from crowdkit.aggregation import SegmentationEM
df = pd.DataFrame(
    [
        ['t1', 'p1', np.array([[1, 0], [1, 1]])],
        ['t1', 'p2', np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1]])],
        ['t1', 'p3', np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1]])]
    ],
    columns=['task', 'worker', 'segmentation']
