LogReg-Crowds is a collection of Julia implementations of various approaches for learning a logistic regression model multiple annotators and crowds, namely the works of:

• Rodrigues, F., Pereira, F., and Ribeiro, B. Learning from multiple annotators: distinguishing good from random labelers. Pattern Recognition Letters, pp. 1428–1436, 2013.

• Raykar, V., Yu, S., Zhao, L., Valadez, G., Florin, C., Bogoni, L., and Moy, L. Learning from Crowds. Journal of Machine Learning Research, pp. 1297–1322, 2010.

All implementations are able to handle multi-class problems and do not require repeated labelling (i.e. annotators do not have to provide labels for the entire dataset). The code was though for interpretability and it is well commented, so that it can be very easy to use (kindly see the file “demo.jl”). At the same, the Julia language provides it with a great perfomance, specially when compared to other scientific languages such as MATLAB or Python/Numpy, without compromising its high-level and interpretability.
