Wisdom of The Crowd
This paper studies a market for new projects with endogenous information acquisition by experts (venture capitalists). It nds that the crowd-like behavior of experts is characteristic of investments in new elds where prospects of new projects are unknown but correlated and experts independently collect small bits of information: each expert acquires a signal about a project and invests when the...
متن کاملLinguistic Wisdom from the Crowd
Crowdsourcing for linguistic data typically aims to replicate expert annotations using simplified tasks. But an alternative goal—one that is especially relevant for research in the domains of language meaning and use—is to tap into people’s rich experience as everyday users of language. Research in these areas has the potential to tell us a great deal about how language works, but designing ann...
متن کاملHarnessing the wisdom of the inner crowd.
Ever since Galton's classic demonstration of the wisdom of crowds in estimating the weight of a slaughtered ox, scholars of the mind and the public alike have been fascinated by the counterintuitive accuracy achieved by simply averaging a number of people's estimates. Surprisingly, individuals can, to some extent, harness the wisdom of crowds within the confines of their own mind by averaging s...
متن کاملImplemeting the ” Wisdom of the Crowd ” ∗
We study a novel mechanism design model in which agents arrive sequentially and each in turn chooses one action from a set of actions with unknown rewards. The information that becomes available affects the incentives of an agent to explore and generate new information. We characterize the optimal disclosure policy of a planner whose goal is to maximizes social welfare. One interpretation for o...
متن کاملApproximating the Wisdom of the Crowd
The problem of “approximating the crowd” is that of estimating the crowd’s majority opinion by querying only a subset of it. Algorithms that approximate the crowd can intelligently stretch a limited budget for a crowdsourcing task. We present an algorithm, “CrowdSense,” that works in an online fashion to dynamically sample subsets of labelers based on an exploration/exploitation criterion. The ...
