Engineers and researchers use human computation as a mechanism to produce labeled data sets for product development, research and experimentation. In a data-driven world, good labels are key. To gather useful results, a successful labeling task relies on many different elements: from clear instructions and user interface design to algorithms for quality control. In this talk, I will present a perspective for collecting high quality labels with an emphasis on practical implementations and scalability. I will focus on three main topics: programming crowds, debugging tasks with low agreement, and algorithms for quality control. I plan to show many examples and code along the way.
