Crowd-sourcing Thermal (dis)Comfort
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper details our work towards designing a system for crowd-sourcing responses on thermal comfort in naturally ventilated office buildings. We provide preliminary qualitative findings on the deployment of this system. Specifically, we explore the different human factors that led to our system being used as something akin to a digital complaints box and how we intend to adapt and leverage the system as a thermal comfort alerts system to better inform building managers.

متن کاملFocus Annotation of Task-based Data: Establishing the Quality of Crowd Annotation
We explore the annotation of information structure in German and compare the quality of expert annotation with crowdsourced annotation taking into account the cost of reaching crowd consensus. Concretely, we discuss a crowd-sourcing effort annotating focus in a task-based corpus of German containing reading comprehension questions and answers. Against the backdrop of a gold standard reference r...
