Is human evaluation through surveys common in ML research?[R][D]

We are also comparing its feedback with outputs from Qwen/OpenAI APIs on the same images.

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • My postdoc and PhD mentors suggested creating a Google Form where participants compare the feedback and select which one is more accurate or useful.
  • Is this type of human evaluation common in machine learning research?
  • Is a sample size of around 60 participants reasonable?
  • If reviewer feedback later requires additional evaluation, is it common to conduct another survey?
