54 * Human labeling: 54 * Human labeling: We controlled noise in the labelling process by (1)
55 requiring AMT workers with a higher than normal average of accepted
56 responses (>95%) on other tasks (2) discarding responses that were not
57 complete (10 predictions) (3) discarding responses for which for which the
58 time to predict was smaller than 3 seconds for NIST (the mean response time
59 was 20 seconds) and 6 seconds seconds for NISTP (average response time of
60 45 seconds) (4) discarding responses which were obviously wrong (10
61 identical ones, or "12345..."). Overall, after such filtering, we kept
62 approximately 95% of the AMT workers' responses. We thank the reviewer for
63 the suggestion about multi-stage questionnaires, we will definitely
64 consider this as an option next time we perform this experiment. However,
65 to be fair, if we were to do so, we should also consider the same
66 multi-stage decision process for the machine learning algorithms as well.
