Our field is particularly unique in the diversity of disciplines it draws upon and contributes to, including human-centred qualitative studies and HCI design, social computing, artificial intelligence, economics, computational social science, digital humanities, policy, and ethics. We promote the exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing not only among researchers, but also engineers and practitioners, to encourage dialogue across disciplines and communities of practice.</span></div><div class="" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height: 13px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><p class="" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin: 0px 0px 18.6px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">This year’s conference theme is around the quality or qualities of human-annotated datasets.
