Vexation-Aware Active Learning for On-Menu Restaurant Dish Availability

Jean-François Kagy, Flip Korn, Afshin Rostamizadeh, Chris Welty

Abstract

Here we leverage the power of the crowd: online users who are willing to answer questions about dish availability at restaurants visited. While motivated users are happy to contribute knowledge, they are much less likely to respond to "silly'' or embarrassing questions (e.g., "DoesPizza Hut serve pizza?'' or "DoesMike's Vegan Restaurant serve steak?'')
