    Abstract: Crowdsourcing using active learning is described, for example, to select pairs of tasks and groups of workers so that information gained about answers to the tasks in the pool is optimized. In various examples a machine learning system learns variables describing characteristics of communities of workers, characteristics of workers, task variables and uncertainty of these variables. In various examples, the machine learning system predicts task variables and uncertainty of the predicted task variables for possible combinations of communities of workers and tasks. In examples the predicted variables and uncertainty are used to calculate expected information gain of the possible combinations and to rank the possible combinations. In examples, the crowdsourcing system uses the expected information gain to allocate tasks to worker communities and observe the results; the results may then be used to update the machine learning system.

    Abstract: An inference engine is described for efficient machine learning. For example, an inference engine executes a plurality of ordered steps to carry out inference on the basis of observed data. For each step, a plurality of inputs to the step are received. A predictor predicts an output of the step and computes uncertainty of the prediction. Either the predicted output or a known output is selected on the basis of the uncertainty. If the known output is selected, the known output is computed, (for example, using a resource intensive, accurate process). The predictor is retrained using the known output and the plurality of inputs of the step as training data. For example, computing the prediction is fast and efficient as compared with computing the known output.
