Abstract: For social media related machine learning tasks, having reliable data labelers is important. However, it is unclear whether students or Mechanical Turk workers would be better data labelers on these noisy, short posts. This paper compares the reliability of students and Mechanical Turk workers for a series of social media data labeling tasks. In general, we find that for most tasks, the Mechanical Turk workers have stronger agreement than the student workers. When we group labeling tasks based on difficulty, we find more consistency for Mechanical Turk workers across labeling tasks than student workers. Both these findings suggest that using Mechanical Turk workers for labeling social media posts leads to more reliable labeling than college students.
