• Abstract: Active Learning (AL) is a machine learning technique where the model selectively queries the most informative data points for labeling by human experts. Integrating AL with crowdsourcing leverages crowd diversity to enhance data labeling but introduces challenges in consensus and privacy. This poster presents CrowdAL, a blockchain-empowered crowd AL system designed to address these challenges. CrowdAL integrates blockchain for transparency and a tamper-proof incentive mechanism, using smart contracts to evaluate crowd workers' performance and aggregate labeling results, and employs zero-knowledge proofs to protect worker privacy.

  There is a growing interest in developing unlearnable examples (UEs) against visual privacy leaks on the Internet. UEs are training samples added with invisible but unlearnable noise, which have been found can prevent unauthorized training of machine learning models. We present a novel technique called Unlearnable Clusters (UCs) to generate label-agnostic unlearnable examples with cluster-wise perturbations.
