Post It or Not: Viewership Based Posting of Crowdsourced Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an online scheduling algorithm for posting crowdsourcing tasks which maximizes a novel metric called task viewership. This metric is computed using stochastic model based on coverage process and it measures the likelihood that a task is viewed by multiple crowd workers, which is correlated to the likelihood that it will be selected and completed.

متن کاملEstimating the Completion Time of Crowdsourced Tasks Using Survival Analysis Models
In order to seamlessly integrate a human computation component (e.g., Amazon Mechanical Turk) within a larger production system, we need to have some basic understanding of how long it takes to complete a task posted for completion in a crowdsourcing platform. We present an analysis of the completion time of tasks posted on Amazon Mechanical Turk, based on a dataset containing 165,368 HIT group...
متن کاملDoes Online Word of Mouth Increase Demand? (And How?) Evidence from a Natural Experiment
We leverage a temporary block of the Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo due to political events, to estimate the causal effect of online word-of-mouth content on product demand in the context of TV show viewership. Based on this source of exogenous variation, we estimate an elasticity of TV show ratings (market share in terms of viewership) with respect to the number of relevant comments...
متن کاملPreCog: Improving Crowdsourced Data Quality Before Acquisition
Quality control in crowdsourcing systems is crucial. It is typically done after data collection, often using additional crowdsourced tasks to assess and improve the quality. These post-hoc methods can easily add cost and latency to the acquisition process—particularly if collecting high-quality data is important. In this paper, we argue for pre-hoc interface optimizations based on feedback that...
