Abstract
A social overlay is provided that allows an application to seek human input when performing high-risk decisions. The overlay allows an application to obtain data confidence scores when performing operations and to obtain human confidence scores that can be used to seek input from users with high confidence scores. This allows applications to improve performance and avoid situations where an automated application may make a wrong decision that does not account for the associated risk.
