Query: Inference Aided Reinforcement Learning for Incentive Mechanism Design in
  Crowdsourcing   Incentive mechanisms for crowdsourcing are designed to incentivize
financially self-interested workers to generate and report high-quality labels.
Existing mechanisms are often developed as one-shot static solutions, assuming
a certain level of knowledge about worker models (expertise levels, costs of
exerting efforts, etc.). In this paper, we propose a novel inference aided
reinforcement mechanism that learns to incentivize high-quality data
sequentially and requires no such prior assumptions. Specifically, we first
design a Gibbs sampling augmented Bayesian inference algorithm to estimate
workers' labeling strategies from the collected labels at each step. Then we
propose a reinforcement incentive learning (RIL) method, building on top of the
above estimates, to uncover how workers respond to different payments. RIL
dynamically determines the payment without accessing any ground-truth labels.
We theoretically prove that RIL is able to incentivize rational workers to
provide high-quality labels. Empirical results show that our mechanism performs
consistently well under both rational and non-fully rational (adaptive
learning) worker models. Besides, the payments offered by RIL are more robust
and have lower variances compared to the existing one-shot mechanisms.
